Description

Approaches include dark energy in terms of physics; social and ecological aspects of the current energy use crisis; and connections between human conceptions of energy and divine spiritual energy in theological terms.
Trade Review"Adds new stimulus to serious deliberations on the consumption of resources, the stewardship of nature, and the deeper spiritual connotations of human embodiment." -- -B. Keith Putt Samford University "This is a volume that aims to expand our range of theological concepts for ecology and for God. New ground is broken here, and there is much to contemplate." -Environmental Ethics "This bold set of essays finally puts theology into the twenty-first century precisely because it confronts the core truth of our very existence-that energy is the omnipresent force shot through all things. But it is not some sloppy, vague thesis full of smoke and mirrors; it carefully unpacks the divinity of the cosmos in intellectually entertaining terms. This book will shock you-because it risks seriously thinking through the relationship between energy and the divine." -- -Creston Davis Rollins College
