An anthology of his writings on ecology, edited by John Chryssavgis and Nikolaos Asproulis and published by T&T Clark in 2021. Reviewers describe it as his scattered writings on the subject collected in one volume, with some new pieces to fill gaps. Its theme is the human being as priest of creation: Zizioulas argues that the ecological crisis calls for more than moral restraint of greed, and requires a change in how the world and the human relation to it are understood, rooted in his eucharistic ecclesiology.
