Reflections of an Infinite Beauty: Scientific and Theological Perspectives on the Ecological Crisis
Dr. Aleksandar I. Zecevic, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering has published his book Reflections of an Infinite Beauty: Scientific and Theological Perspectives on the Ecological Crisis. This book offers scientific and theological perspectives on the current ecological crisis. What is unusual about the book is the fact that it includes an extensive comparison of Catholic, Orthodox and Muslim views on nature and our responsibility toward it. It is reasonable to assume that such an approach could potentially lead to a new framework for ecumenical (and interreligious) dialogue, which centers on what these traditions have in common.
