Christianity has often been accused for being complicit in ecological destruction. In response, Christian ecotheology offers both a Christian critique of environmental destruction and an ecological critique of Christianity. It thus encourages an ecological reformation of the Christian tradition for the sake of the whole earth. This volume focuses such a dual critique on the content and significance of the Christian faith in order to confront those aspects that may undermine an environmental praxis, ethos and spirituality. Each of the essays explores one of the core Christian symbols, seeks...

Christians seeking to "save the Earth" have to relate creation to salvation by doing justice to both themes. This study explores the ambiguous legacy of the ways in which this challenge has been approached in the reformed tradition of Swiss, Dutch, and German origins and in the reception of this tradition in South Africa. The book focuses on the diverging interpretations of the category of "re-creation" in this regard. (Series: Studies in Religion and the Environment / Studien zur Religion und Umwelt - Vol. 8)

Ecological destruction is taking place on such a scale that it prompts the need to make sense of the world in which we live and of this moment in history.

Can Christian discourse on sin be retrieved in the public sphere where it is typically contested and often ridiculed?

It can contribute to multidisciplinary collaboration to address the common need for an in-depth diagnosis of what has gone wrong in the world around us. This is epitomized by ecological destruction but also by economic inequalities and...
