Earth, Wind, and Fire: Biblical and Theological Perspectives on Creation

by Carol J. Dempsey OP (Editor), Joan E. Cook, Mary Ann Donovan

Today's world demands an integrated attitude and vision toward all of life—an approach embraced and enhanced by the contributors to Earth, Wind, and Fire . In this scholarly and passionate work members of the Feminist Hermeneutics Task Force of the Catholic Biblical Association orchestrate an approach to understanding a feminist model of creation that is faithful to biblical tradition and celebrates the rich diversity of all creation. Inviting conversation between Bible and theology, feminist scholars and theologians, the contributing writers explore themes such as the significance of embodiment, the integrity of creation, the interconnectedness of humanity with other creatures, the evolutionary nature of creation, and integral connections between creation and salvation, ecojustice and human liberation. Both detailed and holistic, Earth, Wind, and Fire is a compelling, insightful, and reader-friendly approach to the creative artistry of God. Chapters and contributors
