Preservation and Protest: Theological Foundations for an Eco-Eschatological Ethics
מידע על הספר הדיגיטלי הזה
Preservation and Protest proposes a novel taxonomy of four paradigms of
nonhuman theological ethics by exploring the intersection of tensions between
value terms and teleological terms. McLaughlin systematically develops the
paradigm of cosmocentric transfiguration, arguing that the entire cosmos shares
in the eschatological hope of a harmonious participation in God’s triune life.
With this paradigm, McLaughlin offers an alternative to anthropocentric and conservationist
paradigms within the Christian tradition, an alternative that affirms both
scientific claims about natural history and the theological hope for
eschatological redemption.
