Course Description
This course explores the theological and ethical aspects of our relationship to creation. Major Christian theological approaches to creation are contrasted both to one another and to other approaches influential in the West (e.g., scientific, Native American). Correlative spiritualities are considered and key biblical texts investigated. Additionally, we delve into ethical questions regarding the status and treatment of animals, bio-diversity, the idea and significance of “wilderness,” and issues of sustainable development and conservation.
