To Discern Creation in a Scattering World

By F Depoortere

In today's scattering world, challenged as it is by climate change, pollution and other forms of environmental degradation, developing anadequate theology of creation is not just an armchair luxury, but avital task, a mission in which we are implicated whether we like it ornot. Such an adequate theology of creation should allow theologians andbelievers in general to enter into processes of personal and socialtransformation that bring about justice between human beings and asustainable relationship of humankind with non-human reality. Thecontributions to this volume take up the difficult task of developing anadequate theology of creation for our times. They seek to reflect oncreation in our scattering world from multiple and diverse perspectives, engaging Scripture, old and new traditions, philosophy, ethics, science, Christology, ecclesiology, sacraments and the liturgy. The wealth andheterogeneity of perspectives gathered in this collection is a gift tobe explored and cherished. The articles gathered in this book contributeto an urgently needed re-articulation of the idea of creation and offerto theologians the occasion to sound their own voice in the forum ofthose who attempt to answer the great challenges posed by the times inwhich we live.
