Ecotheology: A Christian Conversation - Paperback
Description
by Kiara A. Jorgenson (Author), Alan G. Padgett (Author), Katherine Hayhoe (Foreword by)
Just as God loves creation, so are Christians called to care for it. Now, amid the accelerating degradation of our global environment, that task has taken on greater urgency than ever. How should Christians respond to the climate crisis and widespread pollution of earth's shared commons, water and air? How might Christian communities think about human responsibility to other living creatures?
In roundtable format, Richard Bauckham, Cynthia Moe-Lobeda, Steven Bouma-Prediger, and John F. Haught navigate the layers of what it means for humans to live in right relationship with earth's lifesystems. After each contributor's essay, the other three contributors issue a response--including points of disagreement and questions--thereby modeling for readers productive and respectful dialogue. The ecumenical conversations in Ecotheology represent the diverse viewpoints of contributors' theological and practical commitments, exploring creation care through a variety of frameworks, including natural science, biblical studies, systematic theology, and Christian ethics.
