Whitney Bauman

Theology, Creation, and Environmental Ethics (eBook, ePUB)

From Creatio Ex Nihilo to Terra Nullius

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Winner of the John Templeton Award for Theological Promise, 2009

This book argues that the Christian doctrine of creatio ex nihilo sets up a support system for a "logic of domination" over others. It follows a genealogical method in examining how the concept of creation out of nothing materializes in the world throughout different periods in the history of the Christian West.
