This reader brings together modern material from a wide range of Christian theologians on the meaning and status of the doctrine of creation; its relation to scientific theories, our understanding of God and the theology of redemption; and its implications for our proper attitude to the world of nature. Process theology, the Gaia hypothesis, New Age spirituality and pantheism are among the range of topics that are introduced and critiqued. Contributors include Carol Adams, Karl Barth, Teilhard de Chardin, Celia Deane-Drummond, Colin Gunton, Jurgen Moltmann, Schubert Ogden and John Polkinghorne.
