Creation’s Wisdom

Daniel Wolpert’s book, Creation’s Wisdom: Spiritual Practice and Climate Change, uses scripture and theology through the lens of modern science to address big questions and to explore the five elements—space, water, earth, fire, and air—as inspiration for embodied spiritual practice.

What is a Christian spirituality that speaks to the needs of people in an era of climate change? What practices can guide us? What is a helpful perspective? The answers lie in the elements of creation.

Here are six videos adapted from a program we offered in December 2020. These videos include an introduction and one video for each of the five elements. In each video Daniel Wolpert, author of Creation’s Wisdom, guides us into an encounter with the elements.
