Drawing from contemporary philosophies of New Materialism, non-Western traditions, and the sciences, he develops a comprehensive vision of energy as a material process spanning physics, biology, politics, ecology, and religion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn exciting new title from one of the most original theologians of his generation. Clayton Crockett unfolds with unrelenting inventiveness the implications of the simple but revolutionary premise that everything changes. To be is to be transformed, in physics as in life, in theology as in biology. From the transformation of energy to the energy of transformation, from 'being' to 'God,' if you like. Don’t miss it! -- John D. Caputo, author of \u003ci\u003eIn Search of Radical Theology: Expositions, Explorations, Exhortations\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSomehow Clayton Crockett breaks open a perspective as spacious as the cosmos and as timely as our globally warming moment. This magnificent volume energizes the matter—the physical and biological material—of the new materialism, conducting it with utterly legible brilliance through current politics and economics,  through decolonial and plural worlds of spirit, through radical theology. At every twist, \u003ci\u003eEnergy and Change \u003c\/i\u003eintensifies the possibility, the precarious chance, of the change all sane earthlings now require. -- Catherine Keller, author of \u003ci\u003eFacing Apocalypse: Climate, Democracy and Other Last Chances\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnergy is constant and yet it changes. It is constant because it changes and changes because it is constant. This paradox has been inscribed at the heart of physics and philosophy since the pre-Socratics and up to Einstein. Through an erudite and thoughtful exploration, Crockett offers a radical theological approach to this cosmological enigma. -- Catherine Malabou, author of \u003ci\u003eMorphing Intelligence: From IQ Measurement to Artificial Brains\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn characteristically exuberant prose and across nearly every discipline, \u003ci\u003eEnergy and Change\u003c\/i\u003e interprets and contests the convulsive neoliberal ideologies accelerating our ecological disaster. Amplifying the work of 'new materialism' with a full-fledged philosophy of energy, this is the book that fans of Clayton Crockett have been waiting for. -- Mary-Jane Rubenstein, author of \u003ci\u003ePantheologies: Gods, Worlds, Monsters\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: New Materialism and Energy Transformation\u003cbr\u003e1.
