Biography
Michael S. Northcott is Professor Emeritus of Ethics at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland; and Guest Professor at the Indonesian Consortium of Religious Studies, Gadjah Mada University, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, and the Evangelische Theologische Faculteit, Leuven, Belgium.
“In this stimulating collection… [Michael Northcott] makes extensive and welcome connections with other Western and Eastern faith traditions and shares Pope Francis’s plea for them to cooperate to make the Earth more sustainable for future generations. He also uses his newfound academic freedom to roam, in order to collect examples of sustainable and unsustainable farming across the world, placing his own photographs of them alongside his passionate text. He is never dull. A book well worth pondering and buying.”
Robin Gill in an excerpt from Theology, 2023, Vol. 126(5)
