Environmentalism is a locus theologicus of our time: in it Christian theology starts to discover the consequences of belief in God. The gospel of liberation is tested as the means for a ‘great transformation’ of society. This creates a new kind of interdisciplinary encounter between theology and other disciplines which is represented in this book in an exemplary way.
