The Burden of the Gospels

"Much of the action and the talk of the Gospels takes place outdoors: on mountainsides, lake shores, river banks, in fields, and pastures, places populated not only by humans, but by animals and plants, both domestic and wild. And these non-human creatures, sheep and lillies and birds, are always represented as worthy of, or as flourishing within, the love and the care of God."
- The Way of Ignorance, Wendell Berry
