## About Thomas Berry

Thomas Berry, CP was an American Catholic priest, cultural historian, and scholar of the world's religions, especially Asian traditions. Later, as he studied Earth history and evolution, he called himself a "geologian". He rejected the labels "theologian" and "ecotheologian" as too narrow and not descriptive of his religions arguments.
