Set against the backdrop of the author's journey with advanced pancreatic cancer, this book offers an incisive theological investigation into the problem of suffering that is both poignant and personal. The author critiques the false disjunctions of modernity, which undergird the exploitation of humans, animals and the environment. Recognising the need for a unified spiritual and moral foundation, he focuses attention on the Cosmic Christ, who upholds all creation in his Love. What emerges is a vision of moral transformation that invites us to affirm the value and dignity of all creatures and conform to God's pattern of agapeic Love.
