Theology, Creation, and Environmental Ethics: From Creatio Ex Nihilo to Terra Nullius

By Whitney Bauman

Book Overview

Winner of the John Templeton Award for Theological Promise, 2009

This book argues that the Christian doctrine of creatio ex nihilo sets up a support system for a "logic of domination" over others. It follows a genealogical method in examining how the concept of creation out of nothing materializes in the world throughout different periods in the history of the Christian West.
