Considering the human need to 'belong' as universal, the chapters shed light on the multifarious experiences of connections and dis-connections, comfort and discomfort, from one's bodily existence and human relations to dynamics in one's world and religiosity. With eyes on the big picture of the creatures' space in the cosmos, central Christian concepts are open for re-examination. This inspiring book is inviting and gives hope for the future of Christian theology.--Kirsi Stjerna, Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary Scandinavian Creation theology is a dynamic and significant contribution to contemporary constructive theology.
