Synopsis

As the world lurches deeper into ecological crisis, it is not enough to keep searching for technological solutions: People need to reconnect with the creatures as sources of theology and spirituality. This book gains its inspiration from the writers of the medieval bestiaries, who followed the tradition of “asking the beasts” and looked for theological and spiritual lessons in the lives and stories of the creatures. It asks, “What would happen if we followed their method and asked the beasts for guidance on the ecological crisis? What would happen if we applied it to some of the creatures that surround us today, such as viruses, jellyfish, and even Schrödinger’s cat?” The results are imaginative, surprising, and frequently quite odd. This book will provoke and challenge the reader but may also inspire them to look at creation with new eyes.
