Rebirthing of God, The (Newell)
In the introduction to this hopeful work, Newell asks Christians of all stripes to "dream together of a reborn Christianity that might again carry great blessing for the world and usher in the emergence of a new well-being for the earth." In essence, this adventure is animated by "a radical reemergence of the Divine from deep within us."
Newell points out that as we make our way through the wilderness, we need guides or scouts to show us the right way. The first modern prophet of the sacredness of the universe is Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955) who said "the more I give myself to the earth, the more I belong to God." Newell also salutes Thomas Berry (1914-2009) as the first Christian prophet of the protection of the earth. He said: "We need to move from a spirituality of alienation from the natural world to a spirituality of intimacy with the natural world."
