Zizioulas, Jean, 1931-2019-09-252019-09-252016-08-3020169782889311446http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12424/156820"Those who read the Encyclical will be impressed by the depth and the thoroughness with which the ecological problem is treated and its seriousness is brought out, together with concrete suggestions and proposals on how to act in order to face its consequences. There is in its pages food for thought for all: the scientist, the economist, the sociologist and above all the faithful of the church. My own comments will be limited to the richness of theological thought and spirituality of the Encyclical. Time and space prevent me from doing full justice to the treatment of these aspects. I shall limit myself to the following points: The theological significance of ecology; The spiritual dimension of the ecological problem; and The ecumenical significance of the Encyclical.
