The Place of Story and the Story of Place - Hardcover

by Ernst M. Conradie (Editor), Willie James Jennings (Editor)

This book is the third 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 creation theology. The book addresses the following question: "What difference does it make to the story of cosmic, planetary, human, and cultural evolution to re-describe this as the creative work of God's love? Inversely, what difference does it make to the story of God's love to describe it in evolutionary terms?" 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.
