The Place of Story and the Story of Place
Editors: Ernst M Conradie and Willie James Jennings
In this visionary and inspiring third volume of the ‘An Earthed Faith: Telling the Story amid the “Anthropocene”’ series, an ensemble of leading international ecotheologians from various geographical locations and confessional traditions, retune the story of God’s creative love to reflections on place, drawing on geography, biology, indigenous creation stories and the wisdom that comes from inhabiting and caring for the land. Foregrounding the experiences of inhabitation by peoples marginalised by capitalist colonial regimes and attending to a plurality of earth stories, this groundbreaking scholarly book significantly refractures the colonial framing of most theologies of creation. This important work opens new vistas for how to do ecotheology in a decolonial key.
