The Bible and Ecojustice," Walter Wink. Theology Today,
1993.
| "So why not just throw out the
Bible, and Christianity along with it? Because it is not the
commandments, but the tenor, the thrust, the spirit of Jesus that
drives us toward God's future.... The Bible is not a repository of
politically correct opinions, but an ongoing struggle to overcome
domination right in our own tradition, in our own Scripture, in our
own homes. Just so, it is only in our time of ecodisaster that we
are driven to think about ecojustice." |

| "The
Ambiguity of Matter," Huston Smith, Cross Currents, 1998.
| "Finding ourselves the 'kings' and 'queens' of creation, we should adopt
toward the rest of nature a stance that is basically custodial in resembling the care that
good rulers exercise toward their subjects. To live up to that trust, we will have to
reorder society." |
|
| "Consciousness
and Reality: Our Entry into Creation," James N. Studer, Cross Currents.
| "God does not "deign to create us from on high" and then merely
to associate with us, albeit closely. We are God's love affair, and our immortality is
divine poetry." |
|
| "What
is Creation? Rereading Genesis 1 and 2,"
Michael Welker, University of Munster. Theology Today, 1991.
| "God saw; God evaluated; God
named, God separated; God brings to the human being; God allows to
be named; God reacts to the needy situation of loneliness and
helplessness of the human being who is not yet differentiated into
man and woman. According to the classical creation texts, all of
these activities and reactivities are part of the complex event
'creation.' All these reactive activities, which relate to that
which is already "produced, " are requisite in order to
bring the process of the creation of heaven and earth to a close.
God sees, names, separates, and reacts in a differentiated way to
the situation and behavior of the human being. What a world lies
between this important characteristic of divine creating in the
classical creation texts and the concept of unconditional production
and causation!" |

catastrophism, cosmology and theology. This archive is a collection of articles and

to the many frequently asked questions (FAQs) and frequently rebutted assertions that
