Religion and Ecology in the Public Sphere Summary

Religion and Ecology in the Public Sphere by Dr. Celia Deane-Drummond (Campion Hall, University of Oxford, UK)

This title is a collection of essays from top scholars in the field of Religion and Ecology that stimulates the debate about the religious contribution to ecological debate. This collection of essays brings to the surface vital dimensions in the engagement between religion and ecology. The authors are aware of both the political urgency, but also the need to delve into a variety of diverse traditions in order to resource such a task, namely, what might religious traditions contribute to ecological debates? A core issue addressed here is how contemporary theology might become public theology, one that is deeply relevant to the particular problems and issues of today. This then raises important theoretical questions about how theology might engage with politics. The diverse methodological approaches possible within Christian theology are represented in this collection, including those drawing on particular traditions such as Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic and Reformed theology, through to self consciously contextual approaches in liberation, African and Feminist discourse.
