Opis

In this volume, the author examines aspects of Christian doctrine with reference to an 'ecological theology', asking why Christians as religious believers should engage in 'earthkeeping'.

Recenzje

'Ernst Conradie [...] addresses this issue from a theological perspective. And he does it well. Ashgate publishing house has already provided several books interesting for the Science and Religion dialogue, and this one will not disappoint the reader... The book gives the reader a well-informed and thorough overview of the topics involved, and will, in my opinion, be a very good book to read while preparing for ECST XI... he certainly challenges the reader to articulate and deepen her own position regarding the place of humans in nature.' ESSSAT News 'The book provides a very valuable resource both for the scholar on approaches to Christian environmental concerns as well those involved in church actions around the environment, seeking bliblical and theological basis for their activities.' Journal of Theology for Southern Africa ’...Ernst Conradie has written an impressive book... The great strengths of the book, along with the clarity of its structure, are the breadth and depth of its dialogue partners, and its relentless undaunted trawl through list upon list of issues and their chief protagonists... makes the book an indispensable companion in this rapidly expanding theological field, because it keeps a steady hand while covering a large literature.’ Theology
