Originally published in 1994, The Earth, Humanity and God discusses the relationship between science and religion. The book discusses the condition of the earth (as it was at the time of publication) and the future prospects of the planet, arguing that neither the conventional "mechanistic" view nor "New Age" philosophy helps alone in evaluating our relationship with the Earth. The book examines methods of combatting the threats to the Earth exploring both a scientific and non-scientific stance, investigating the uncontrolled expansion of technology as well as empirical pre-scientific mysticism. The book also explores the resurgence in ancient ideas of "Mother Earth" as a dangerous piece of romantic irrationality and suggests, that these views pose a danger to religious/scientific examinations. The book suggests instead a hard-headed attempt to relate Biblical and scientific data, and that this in turn can yield a valuable new understanding of the problems facing the world.

From the Forward by Tom Berry: Lorna Green proposes that we reestablish that primordial intimacy between humans and the natural world, an intimacy with all living creatures and all physical phenomena that constitute the living organism: The Earth. Every power in the universe is needed if humans are to survive with any degree of fulfillment. The powers that govern the world include vast powers beyond the Earth. These are spiritual as well as physical forces. We need to recover this intimacy with all our relations. ...There are the voices also...that modern man now seldom hears, voices of the winds, of the mountains and rivers, the voices of the woodlands and the meadows and all the living creatures that inhabit the land and the sea and fly through the air. If they had, they would surely have responded with the awe and reverence that the peoples of the Earth have known from Paleolithic times. Lorna Green has articulated the nature of the challenge that we confront and has given us a way of responding to the challenge. Her response comes from her own lifetime experience of extensive study, meditation and living with the land. She has heard the voices...Lorna Green is someone to be listened to.

Intends to bring together the biblical, historical, and theological elements of an integrated Christian vision of the world, in light of our contemporary understandings of nature and the evolving universe.
