Reviews

Scandinavian Creation theology is a dynamic and significant contribution to contemporary constructive theology. The name should not mislead you, though: The volume shows the international relevance its resources represents, and contains insights that can be employed in a profound manner by scholars in other parts of the world, as well. Thus, SCT it is part of a wider web of theological work that goes on in the present in order to enhance our understanding of the depths of human existence and experience--Jan-Olav Henriksen, MF Norwegian School of Theology

In the spirit of the Scandinavian Creation Theology, the international authors of this delightful book address theologically the meaning of 'home'. 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.
