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.

Famous quotes containing the word works:

    “The works of the great poets have never yet been read by mankind, for only great poets can read them. They have only been read as the multitude read the stars, at most astrologically, not astronomically.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The hippopotamus’s day
    Is passed in sleep; at night he hunts;
    God works in a mysterious way—
    The Church can sleep and feed at once.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “There is a great deal of self-denial and manliness in poor and middle-class houses, in town and country, that has not got into literature, and never will, but that keeps the earth sweet; that saves on superfluities, and spends on essentials; that goes rusty, and educates the boy; that sells the horse, but builds the school; works early and late, takes two looms in the factory, three looms, six looms, but pays off the mortgage on the paternal farm, and then goes back cheerfully to work again.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
