520 8 |a At one time, God was a bird. In ancient Egypt, Thoth was the Ibis-headed divinity of magic & wisdom. Winged divine beings populated the pantheon of Greek antiquity, & Quetzalcoatl was the plumed serpent deity of the pre-Columbian Aztecs.

This work calls this new but ancient vision of the world 'Christian animism' in order to signal the continuity of biblical religion with the beliefs of indigenous & non-Western communities that Spirit enfleshes itself within everything that grows, walks, flies, & swims in & over the Earth.
