Letters from the Ecotone invites readers into an open-hearted dialogue between friends—a scientist and a pastor. In a series of letters written during the pandemic, Lloyd and Nagy-Benson explore the realities of climate change from the perspectives of ecology and Christian theology. The authors seek common ground, where science and religion meet and share a vision of flourishing life on earth. At a time when the climate crisis is quickly emerging as an existential threat, this book charts a journey imbued with the insights of ecological science and the wisdom of the Christian tradition.
There are some lovely passages about nature, and the mutual-admiration erudite letters can be interesting, but the book frustrated the heck out of me. I'm sure these people would be lovely friends or conversation partners, but I don't need to read their correspondence.
