Ecological Theology
8. Januar 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
In his latest book, Edwards offers "a partial sketch of how ecological conversion can find inspiration from within the traditions of Christian faith."
Based on the God-centered (not human-centered) teaching of the bible, he explores an ecological theology that honors and respects all creatures. Today, he suggests, many Christians accept care of creation as God's will, yet fail to see their actions as discipleship with Jesus. Jesus knew God was involved with every sparrow that falls to the ground, Edwards reminds us. Connecting the living memory of Jesus with the issues that confront the global community is essential if ecological action is to be seen "not only as ethically responsible but also as radically Christian."
He shares his vision of actions and attitudes that could result from a widespread conversion to this radical Christianity, carried out in all aspects of daily life as well as through public witness by the church. Among other changes, he sees a critical challenge to current economic and political practices and acceptance of the reality that resources of earth are finite and "current Western consumption patterns...bring death and destruction to other species in our planetary community life." Other topics Edwards addresses include writings on the future of the world by theologians Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and Karl Rahner and an ecological theology of the Eucharist.
This timely, clearly written resource, with its strong summary chapter, extensive notes, and detailed index, is ideal for those wishing to further their understanding of the ecological icrisis facing our world and ways that we can make a difference today. The entire work or specific chapters could be used by families, small groups, or educators.

Ecology at the heart of faith
10. November 2009
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This has been an eye opener for me. I'm being made aware of how closely everything created is connected and I'm viewing nature in a much more relation-based attitude. My cat has more meaning for me. I used to consider her a nuisance at times; now I realize that she needs relationship with me since she has no other cats to interact with. I'm gazing with awe at the insects "dancing in the autumn sunshine". They seem to be celebrating life. And this book certainly causes me to review the necessity to conserve energy. I can use my car less, I've gotten rid of my gas guzzler; I recycle paper, plastic and glass; buy my milk in returnable glass containers, etc. I highly recommend this as a great read for anyone who cares for the universe. We must change our attitudes and behavior before there is no recovery attainable.

Inspirational and affirming
11. Juni 2011
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Edwards makes a compelling case for ecospirituality that is accessible to every reader. Not only does this book offer a clear explanation of how creation frames and informs faith, but it also encourages an active reassessment of the individual's relationship with, and understanding of the human connection to, the greater universe. As a Catholic theologian, I'd like to see this book required reading for every person of religious conviction, as it addresses the common condition of humankind.
