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. Among the range of topics that are introduced and critiqued are: process theology, the Gaia hypothesis, New Age spirituality, and pantheism. Selections are drawn from theologians such as Karl Barth, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Colin Gunton, Juergon Moltmann, John Polkinghorne, and Paul Tillich.
