Simon R. Watson

Christ, Creation, and the Fall

Discerning Human Purpose from an Evolving Nature

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Inspired by Philip Hefner's The Human Factor (1993), Simon R. Watson engages Darwin's The Descent of Man (1871), William Paley's Natural Theology (1802), and the twenty-first century Wisdom Christologies of Denis Edwards and Elizabeth Johnson to argue for a liberative theology of nature grounded in a compassionate Christ and an existential fall.
