THE SACRED UNIVERSE Earth, Spirituality, and Religion in the Twenty-First Century

Narrator Peter Lerman lays out the tenets of author Thomas Berry's unique beliefs as expressed in his audiobook. The Catholic priest, who is also a leading scholar and historian, explains his conviction that no organized religion has proclaimed Earth as a sacred place. He believes that humans are destroying the environment and its species because our organized religions, governments, and universities have failed to emphasize how important they are for human survival. Lerman narrates at a steady pace with impeccable phrasing. His consistent tone and modulation help listeners grasp Berry's powerful message. The universe, including Earth and its many inhabitants, is a hallowed place that humans must be taught to sustain. Lerman's sincere and knowledgeable presentation gives gravitas to Berry's appeal.
