This book guides the reader to the emerging Ecozoic Era when humans will be present upon the Earth in a mutually enhancing manner. Indeed, this book calls for an Ecozoic spirituality that is timely and much needed. It also illustrates an important direction for theology and spirituality and for deep ecumenism that is yet to be fully realized and opens more doors for such dialogue.
By giving special attention to the integral relationship among God, the cosmos, and humanity, the works of Thomas Berry (1914–2009, USA) and Zhou Dunyi (1017–1073, China) provide insights that speak to the current ecological crisis, a cosmological context for developing an Ecozoic spirituality, while helping to advance clear values and ethical parameters that lead to a more authentic human presence on Earth.

Kwang Sun Choi is a professor at Honam Theological University and Seminary in South Korea, in the area of eco-spirituality and eco-theology. Choi received his PhD from the University of St. Michael’s College, Canada. He also holds a Certificate of Specialization in Theology and Ecology from the Elliott Allen Institute for Theology and Ecology (EAITE). Choi is an ordained pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Korea and seeks an integration of Christian faith with the ecological practice of Christian life.
