Back Jacket

Drawing thoughtfully from numerous biblical texts and using Pope Francis's encyclical Laudato Si' and apostolic exhortation Laudate Deum as points of reference, Monaco's book issues a compelling call to take urgent action to save our "common home," planet earth, becoming stewards of God's creation. The value of this book cannot be praised enough. J. E. Aguilar Chiu, SSD Professor of Biblical Theology St. Joseph's Seminary, Yonkers, NY
