Before Nature

<p><b>Before Nature</b> caps a set of themes first brought to the fore in Santmires previous work most notably the classic <b>The Travail of Nature</b>. Here Santmire continues the pursuit of a theology bound up with nature and its condition especially the fragility and fervent expectation of natures redemption. Santmire invites readers on a theological and spiritual journey to a prayerful and contemplative knowledge of the Triune God in which practitioners are inducted into a bountiful relationship with the cosmic and universal ministry of Christ and the Spirit uniting all of nature in a single vision of hope and anticipation.</p>
