Reviews
“I found the book exciting ... Dr. Jenkins suggests some valuable
foundational steps that those of us involved in the ministry of children could
begin to take ... I hope that all teachers and catechists have the
opportunity to see the suggestions and wrestle with the issues proposed in
Loving Our Neighbor, the Earth.”
— Mike Reifel, director of catechetical ministries, Diocese of San
Bernardino
“The author is fully at home both in the theological and the ecological
literature, and does a splendid job of bringing them in dialog with each
other. Orientation for the teacher (which is theologically able and sensitive),
creative lesson plans and the aim of bringing action to teaching, make this
a very fine work.”
— Dr. William A. Beardslee, professor emeritus of religion, Emory
University
