This volume brings together fifteen select scholars to consider pressing contemporary environmental concerns through the lens of Catholic theology.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Drawing from the early church fathers and other authoritative voices in the Christian tradition, the contributors to \u003ci\u003eOn Earth as It Is in Heaven\u003c\/i\u003e show how ancient, creedal Christianity offers significant insights into our current ecological dilemmas and speaks powerfully about what it means for us today to care well for God’s good creation.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCONTRIBUTORS and TOPICS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRobert Louis Wilken\u003c\/b\u003e on honoring centipedes and toads — and all of God’s created works\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eChristopher J.
