The Ecological Vision on Creation is a book written with one purpose: to inspire, to warm the heart, to lift one above the petty preoccupations of God’s creation in order to glimpse the divine beginning of all things. The book is a special endeavor of Patristic Eco-Theology for readers to enable them to understand patristic ecological perspectives and to give energy and encouragement to join hands with those who have a real concern for God’s creation. Through the Syriac Patristic Study, the author tries to make an analytical reading of fifth-century writings as well as the mediations on God’s six days of the creation of Jacob of Serugh (451 521) in the context of ecological crisis. The theme of the text is intrinsically fascinating and complex. It refers to the divine relation between Creator and creatures. The book also offers a guiding hand to contemplate the divine deeds of creation and urges us to collect the legacy of the Holy Fathers of the Church for today’s world.
