He offers a deep dive into the power of symbols to engender consistent action – including political action – for transformation toward ways of living that allow earth’s climate systems to flourish. This book will be invaluable in the academy and in the church. -- Cynthia D. Moe-Lobeda, Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary of California Lutheran University, USA\u003cbr\u003eThe late Ursula K Le Guin argued that if we going to think ourselves out of the current problems of climate change and globalization, we are going to need more speculative fiction writers.  This means we need new symbols with which to imagine our planetary futures.  This book is important because it critiques the underlying theological symbols of western style democracies and economics that are, in the era of the Anthropocence, quite simply deficient.  We need new, planetary ways of imagining human-God-Earth relations that suggest we (and all things human) are emergent from the process of planetary evolution. -- Whitney Bauman, Florida International University, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: The Deficit Thesis and the Task It Presents  \u003cb\u003ePart 1: Contexts for the Symbol Deficit\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cb\u003eChapter One: \u003c\/b\u003e From Acts of God to the Anthropocene  \u003cb\u003eChapter Two: \u003c\/b\u003e Culprits for the Predicament  \u003cb\u003eChapter Three: \u003c\/b\u003e Consumer Idolatry  \u003cb\u003eChapter Four: \u003c\/b\u003e Religion in Denial  \u003cb\u003eChapter Five: \u003c\/b\u003e To Empower Those Who Suffer and Give Voice to Those Who Lack It  \u003cb\u003ePart 2: Conditions for symbolic practices\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cb\u003eChapter Six: \u003c\/b\u003e Symbols as Mediating Practice  \u003cb\u003eChapter Seven: \u003c\/b\u003e Conditions for Agency:  A Critique of Modernity’s Detached Subject  \u003cb\u003eChapter Eight:\u003c\/b\u003e  Symbols for Enhancing Moral Motivation and Avoiding Defection  \u003cb\u003eChapter Nine:\u003c\/b\u003e  An Inductive, Experientially Oriented Theology  \u003cb\u003ePart 3: Symbols for Practices\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cb\u003eChapter Ten: \u003c\/b\u003e God as Creator - A Critical Symbol?  \u003cb\u003eChapter Eleven:\u003c\/b\u003e   From Anthropos to All of Creation  \u003cb\u003eChapter Twelve: \u003c\/b\u003e Symbolic Deficits in Apocalypticism – Towards a Presentist Eschatology  \u003cb\u003eChapter Thirteen: \u003c\/b\u003e Sin  \u003cb\u003eChapter Fourteen: \u003c\/b\u003e Symbols for Hope – A Critical Evaluation  \u003cb\u003eChapter Fifteen: \u003c\/b\u003e Sacrifice, Hope, and Grace  Bibliography  Index","brand":"Bloomsbury USA 3pl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52083982074199,"sku":"9780567705013","price":28.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780567705013.jpg?v=1762204605","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/climate-change-and-the-symbol-deficit-in-the-christian-tradition-9780567705013","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
