Considerations of the rich (but largely unexplored) theological and practical intersection between ecological and geological domains to the realm of ecclesiology and liturgy is a much-needed undertaking. As Lamp has done time and time before, he has constructed a fresh framework to undertake such a task. The healing of our liturgy may not just renew the church—it may renew all of creation. A needed volume for a direly underserved conversation.

This visionary and incisive exploration reimagines ecological hermeneutics. Lamp creates an ingenious geoliturgy narrative that remaps the global discussion around eotheology with insights into anthropology culled from the opening of the Hebrew Bible and on to the Pauline Corpus. The timing is exquisite in that using the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed to frame relevant science and faith issues provides fodder for Nicaea 2025 projects and the 2025 global launch of the ecumenical Season of Creation. Lamp wields a golden pen that links ‘Green Patriarch’ Bartholomew and Pope Francis in a way that serves all faith actors well, from Eastern Orthodox to Pentecostal.

Jeffrey S. Lamp’s new bookis a gem. Drawing especially on the Eastern Orthodox and Pentecostal traditions, Geoliturgy and Ecological Crisis is a timely text creatively organized around the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed, with a special focus on the Eucharist and fasting. This well-organized and clearly written book persuasively lays out a biblical vision for why we should be caretakers of our home planet.

Deeply biblical, deeply spiritual, and deeply moving. This is how I would describe Geoliturgy. Lamp moves the reader through Scripture and the Nicene Creed, drawing out their creational emphases and exploring creation itself a Trinitarian act. This grounds Lamp’s reflections on devotional practices and ecological spirituality as a vital and authentic response to the contemporary environmental crisis. That is, authentic to the original vocation of humanity to serve creation and vital for the flourishing of our world.
