Beskrivning
The Routledge Handbook of Ecotheology offers a comprehensive, up-to-date reference work dedicated to Christian ecological theology. Addressing urgent questions about creation, climate crisis, and human responsibility toward Earth and its creatures, the volume maps the development, diversity, and future of ecotheology as a vital field within modern Christian thought.Featuring contributions from leading international scholars and organized into five thematic sections, the Handbook traces ecotheology’s roots in biblical, patristic, medieval, and early modern sources; examines contemporary ecclesial and philosophical approaches; rethinks core Christian doctrines in light of ecological concern; engages ecological ethics and social transformation; and confronts the spiritual and existential challenges of an uncertain planetary future.Written for advanced students, scholars, and researchers in theology, religious studies, ethics, and the environmental humanities, this volume provides an essential research companion and teaching resource. By combining historical depth with constructive and practical insight, The Routledge Handbook of Ecotheology equips readers to understand, teach, and advance Christian responses to today’s ecological crises.
