Works
Dowd's Earthspirit: A Handbook for Nurturing an Ecological Christianity (1991, 23 publications) was inspired by the writings of cultural historian Thomas Berry, cosmologist Brian Swimme, and deep ecologist Joanna Macy. His preachings since 2002 provided material for Thank God for Evolution (2008, influences – Thomas Berry, David Sloan Wilson and others.) Its endorsements includes six Nobel Prize-winning scientists - Craig Mello, John Mather, Thomas C. Schelling, Frank Wilczek, Lee Hartwell and Charles Townes. It has also gotten favorable reviews and compliments from a host of religious leaders, scientists and cultural icons. Starting in the spring of 2008, Professor Hogue at the Meadville Lombard Theological School was using Dowd’s book in his course on theology and science. Penguin purchased the worldwide rights to it in mid 2008.

—James Thomson (1700–1748)
“A complete woman is probably not a very admirable creature. She is manipulative, uses other people to get her own way, and works within whatever system she is in.”
—Anita Brookner (b. 1938)
“I lay my eternal curse on whomsoever shall now or at any time hereafter make schoolbooks of my works and make me hated as Shakespeare is hated. My plays were not designed as instruments of torture. All the schools that lust after them get this answer, and will never get any other.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
