It is within the context of this newly emerging dialogue that theologians Donald B. Conroy and Rodney L. Petersen present this essential collection of essays, which focuses on the challenge of rethinking theology in relation to a just and sustainable society. In addition to exploring such issues as environmental limits, ozone depletion, and global warming, the authors raise such questions as: What is the relationship between environmental ethics and cultural diversity? If we are aware of the current environmental crisis, why are we unable to act more forthrightly in dealing with these issues? How does the new dialogue between religion and science affect our hope for the future of humanity and life on our planet?
This collection brings together a broad spectrum of authors from diverse backgrounds and perspectives, including Susan Power Bratton, Richard J. Clifford, Richard M. Clugston, Paula Gonzalez, Roger S. Gottlieb, Ian Hutchinson, Charles J. Puccia, Larry Rasmussen, Michal Fox Smart, George Tinker, Timothy Weiskel, and distinguished physicist and theologian Ian Barbour, the 1999 winner of the Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion and Science.
As we reach the earth's resource and population capacity limits, only an intense dialogue between science and religion will pave the way for real solutions. This timely volume lays the foundations for this long-needed discussion and newfound collaboration.
