Overview

Theocentric scholarly dialogues on creation care ust 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.

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.
