His concept of the &ldquo;Universe Story&rdquo; proposed that cosmic evolution provides a framework for examining human purpose and ecological consciousness.</p> <p>Trained in history and theology, Berry studied Asian cultures and religions throughout his early career. His encounters with indigenous worldviews and Eastern philosophies suggested alternatives to Western approaches to nature, informing his work on articulating new cultural narratives.</p>
