Overview
This volume is the fourth in a series titled An Earthed Faith: Telling the Story amid the ""Anthropocene."" The series aims to offer collaborative, constructive contributions to understanding the content and significance of the Christian faith from the perspective of Christian ecotheology, given the challenges associated with the ""Anthropocene."" The focus of this volume is on God's providence. The volume addresses the following question: How could the suffering of God's creatures in the ""Anthropocene"" be reconciled with trust in God's loving care? Addressing this question required theological reflection on the classic themes related to the doctrine of providence, including creatio continua, conservatio, gubernation, and concursus. The ten contributors were selected in order to optimize a diversity of positions in terms of geographical context, confessional traditions, and theological schools while also taking considerations of gender, race, age, and language into account. The volume captures and extends the current state of the debate in this regard while also indicating emerging horizons in Christian ecotheology.
