A Fresh Outlook, 29 May 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Creation Spirituality: Liberating Gifts for the Peoples of the Earth (Paperback)
Matthew Fox has "rediscovered" mystical Christianity, which celebrates the "Christ" present in all of creation. Such mysticism was a significant movement within Christianity during the Middle Ages, but it was effectively silenced by the centralized Church and then ignored when enlightenment ideologies favored much more reductionistic, as opposed to mysticism's more holistic, thought. Fox astutely notes that the same worldview expressed by mystical Christians has also been appreciated by Jewish and Muslim mystics, and by aboriginal peoples. He is particularly drawn to Native American traditions. Fox suggests, I think correctly, that spiritualities that focus on personal salvation with little regard for the rest of Creation tend to be spiritually unfulfilling for the undividual and destructive for the world.

Creation Spirituality - A Primer, 20 Dec 2000
By Informed Professional - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Creation Spirituality: Liberating Gifts for the Peoples of the Earth (Paperback)
For those looking for a spirituality that is positive and all embracing, vursus one which is exclusive and judgemental, this is the place to start. Matthew Fox introduces the reader to ideas and themes that are more fully developed in his book "Original Blessing". Original Blessing v. Original Sin is one such theme. Others are the Four Paths of Creation Spirituality, art as meditation, liberation for First World peoples, and the return of true Trinitarian Christianity.Bottom line: Matthew Fox puts forward a Christianity that is a beautiful relection of Jesus the Christ and shows how such a Christianity can help to heal the world.

The Truth, 27 Oct 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Creation Spirituality: Liberating Gifts for the Peoples of the Earth (Paperback)
For those of you who dont't know,Matthew Fox is the only man who dares to find the connections between seemingly conflicting dogma. He is the freshest voice. He is a true Christian- one who loves, who accepts, one who ministers. The hate ridden religious right has a lot to learn from Matthew Fox.Jesus never hated anyone. Creation Spirituality is a good primer for the next millenium
