Geoliturgy and Ecological Crisis (eBook, PDF)

The Spiritual Practice of Caring for Creation

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Geoliturgy and Ecological Crisis: The Spiritual Practice of Caring for Creation examines sources and select practices within Christian tradition-Scripture, the Nicene Creed, the Eucharist, and fasting-from an ecological perspective in order to develop a practical spirituality for living in an ecologically responsible way in the world. This spirituality, which Jeffrey S. Lamp labels Geoliturgy, describes a way to read the Bible ecologically and to understand the doctrinal content of the Nicene Creed in ecological terms. Lamp then examines the Eucharist and fasting as liturgical and devotional practices that form the structure of a spirituality that extends from church services into the daily lives of the faithful. The resulting vision of this study is the reclamation of the biblical mandate for human beings to function as benevolent priestly co-rulers with God in creation to prepare creation to become the dwelling place of God.
