“Christopher Thompson’s The Joyful Mystery is an immensely rich, well-researched book that makes beautifully clear that Catholics should be leading the environmental movement, rather than trailing behind.”
Benjamin Wiker
Professor of Political Science and Director of Human Life Studies, Franciscan University of Steubenville and author of In Defense of Nature
“In wonderfully accessible prose, Thompson leads us from common sense to Catholic truth and back again, showing that the paths of theology and philosophy run through forests, fields, and farms.”
Matthew Levering
James N. and Mary D. Perry Jr. Chair of Theology, Mundelein Seminary
“With remarkable clarity and poetic flare, Christopher Thompson gives us the philosophical and theological roots of an environmental ethic so desperately needed today. Deeply grounded in an order of creation informed by natural law and revelation, he weaves a challenging argument that all creation is the embodiment of God’s wisdom.”
Michael Naughton
Director of the Center for Catholic Studies and Koch Chair in Catholic Studies, University of St. Thomas (Minnesota)
“The Joyful Mystery engages environmental concerns guided by the wisdom of St. Thomas and in light of God’s presence as a loving Creator. A nicely integrated perspective that makes a vital contribution to the contemporary discussion.”
David L. Schindler
Gagnon Professor of Fundamental Theology, The John Paul II Institute, Washington D.C.
