OverviewHow are we to think about the natural world around us in relation to the God of Jesus? Astronomers, cosmologists, and evolutionary biologists have opened wonderfully new ways of seeing the community of life on Earth, and its place in the universe. At the same time we are facing an extreme crisis of life on our planet. Both of these realities demand that we rethink our theology of animals, plants, ecosystems, as well as galaxies and stars. In this book, Denis Edwards collects together a series of explorations into this kind of theology.God and The Natural World and God: Theological Explorations is a timely publication. It comprises an impressive collection of scholarly essays that Professor Denis Edwards has contributed to the developing eld of ecological theology. Written with the clarity and intellectual rigour that characterise all of Edwards' writings, it invites the reader into a dialogue between the wonders and the distress of the natural world in light of contemporary science on the one hand and insights from the Christian theological tradition from Athanasius to Rahner on the other. The style is engaging and the subject matter compelling.
