About Thomas Berry
(November 9, 1914 – June 1, 2009) was a Catholic priest of the order, cultural historian and ecotheologian (although cosmologist and geologian – or “Earth scholar” – were his preferred descriptors). Among advocates of "ecospirituality" and the "New Story," he is famous for proposing the idea that a deep understanding of the history and functioning of the evolving universe is a necessary inspiration and guide for our own effective functioning as individuals and as a species. He is considered a leader in the tradition of Teilhard de Chardin.

This hymnal literature is not "primitive." It is highly developed in its literary form, in its intellectual insight, and in its questioning attitude.
