About the book
This book offers resources for re-imagining the biblical vision of water for a time quickly emerging as “the century of water wars.” Drawing on the author’s activist engagement with movements opposing Detroit water shutoffs, it re-reads the biblical tradition alongside indigenous mythologies and practices to propose a spiritually grounded response to water injustice and climate-driven crises.
