Full Description

In today's scattering world, challenged as it is by climate change,
pollution and other forms of environmental degradation, developing an
adequate theology of creation is not just an armchair luxury, but a
vital task, a mission in which we are implicated whether we like it or
not. Such an adequate theology of creation should allow theologians and
believers in general to enter into processes of personal and social
transformation that bring about justice between human beings and a
sustainable relationship of humankind with non-human reality. The
contributions to this volume take up the difficult task of developing an
adequate theology of creation for our times. They seek to reflect on
creation in our scattering world from multiple and diverse perspectives,
engaging Scripture, old and new traditions, philosophy, ethics, science,
Christology, ecclesiology, sacraments and the liturgy. The wealth and
heterogeneity of perspectives gathered in this collection is a gift to
be explored and cherished. The articles gathered in this book contribute
to an urgently needed re-articulation of the idea of creation and offer
to theologians the occasion to sound their own voice in the forum of
those who attempt to answer the great challenges posed by the times in
which we live.
