<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The Earth needs our attention--the best of our intellectual, ethical, and spiritual wisdom and action. In this collection, written in honor of Elizabeth A. Johnson, scholars from the United States and around the world contribute their insights on how theology today can and must turn to the world in new ways in light of contemporary science and our ecological crisis. The essays in this collection advance theological visions for the human task of healing our destructive relationship with the earth and envision hope for our planet's future. <p/><i>Contributors: </i> <br> Kevin Glauber Ahern, Erin Lothes Biviano, Lisa Sowle Cahill, Colleen Mary Carpenter, David Cloutier, Kathy Coffey, Carol J.

Indeed, it is a timely testament to the compelling reasons why, as Elizabeth Johnson says, `You just have to keep doing theology!'"Margaret Eletta Guider, OSF, <i>Theological Studies</i><br><br>"If you love Elizabeth Johnson and her work on cosmic theology then you will gain wonderful insights and inspiration from this book. If you are passionate about Earth and nurturing this gift, then this book will give you added encouragement and a sense of hope."Jo Bell, <i>Tui Motu InterIslands</i><br><br>"These essays call for a cosmological theology that will help us transform, reimagine, rethink, and live in a new sustainable relationship with the world and all that is in it."Catholic Press Association award, second place in faith and science category<br><br>"Younger theologians might call Elizabeth Johnson a `rock star.' Although that is not a theological category, I think the celestial metaphor is fitting for the stellar scholarship she has generated over the decades and that, in turn, has attracted a constellation of colleagues, peers, students, and others to do theology that simultaneously orbits the tradition while boldly exploring new space(s) for understanding the One in whom we `live and move and have our being' (Acts 17:28). Humans, nonhuman animals, and indeed all of creation are encompassed in this `we' as reflected in the light that these essays emit as a tribute to Johnson's gravitas. Now as we face urgent environmental issues and as we extend our human footprint further into our solar system's small corner of the galaxy, the theological work offered in this collection is indeed most welcome."Tobias Winright, Mäder Endowed Chair of Health Care Ethics and Associate Professor of Theological Ethics, Saint Louis University<br><br>"Far more than a <i>festschrift</i>, this volume in honor of feminist and ecological theologian Elizabeth Johnson attests to the multi-modal, multi-generational impacts that radiate from the theological work and mentorship of this esteemed scholar. With essays ranging from cosmos to earthly embodiment, from bonobos to the Anthropocene, and from Christology to ethics, <i>Turning to the Heavens and the Earth</i> is a delightful testimony to frontiers in theological thinking that have been charted by Elizabeth Johnson. Essays in the book brim with insights, and the volume as a whole coheres beautifully."Christiana Z. Peppard, Fordham University<br><br>"This is a fine collection of essays in honor of the redoubtable theologian, Elizabeth Johnson, with social attention paid to Johnson's lifelong, major contributions to the central issues of God, humankind, and cosmos. A fitting and welcome tribute to a splendid theologian."David Tracy, The University of Chicago<br>
