Augustine and the Environment Hardback
by John Doody, Kim Paffenroth, Mark Smillie
Part of the Augustine in Conversation: Tradition and Innovation series
Hardback
Description
This volume brings into dialogue the ancient wisdom of Augustine of Hippo, a bishop of the early Christian Church of the fourth and fifth centuries, with contemporary theologians and ethicists on the topic of the environment and humanity's place in and responsibility to it.
The contributors vary widely in their estimation of how sustained and useful such a dialogue might be, from outright dismissal of the church father to extended speculation with him and in his spirit.
Their conclusions impact our views of God and both human and non-human creation.
Such engagement should influence any future discussion of how Christianity and environmentalism can interact or influence one another.
