About this book
Praise for this book
“Creation and Hope is like a tapestry that calls for artistic appreciation as it pulls together threads that are often discrepant. Theological and scientific, Trinitarian and Christocentric, anthropological and ecological, phenomenological and biblical, woven together with vibrancy and color creating a pattern that eliminates fragmentation, disintegration, and disconnectedness. And the strand that brings it all together is a substantive hope, not one that ignores reality with superficial optimism but one that invites rigorous action.”
Elaine Wainwright, Professor Emerita, University of Auckland
Peter Harris, President, A Rocha International
“It is a privilege to have such a wide variety of perspectives and experience gathered under one cover with this collection of fascinating papers. When theological and ecological reflection come together it is always fruitful, but it is immeasurably more valuable when they are grounded in a particular place as they were in Aotearoa by those who have contributed, and by the work of Nicola Hoggard Creegan in particular. . . However unreflective activism carries its own dangers, and so I trust that Creation and Hope will find the readership it deserves.”
Vicky Balabanski, College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences, Flinders University
“This volume offers informed and fresh insights that contribute to a more nuanced understanding of ourselves as ‘deeply embedded creatures’. By exploring the symbolic inheritance and lived experience of the Christian faith in relation to the natural world, it offers a vision of human flourishing in concert with other beings in the natural world—and ecological hope.”
