This volume brings together contributions from the 2022 conference
of the European Society for the Study of Science and Theology, held
in Ã…lesund, Norway, to address the many urgent questions raised by
the concept of global sustainability. Scholars from the fields of
philosophy, theology and the sciences offer a variety of
perspectives on global sustainability, and on how the need for it
can best be effected and sustained. The material assembled here –
covering the roots of the present ecological crisis, as well as
means for addressing it from ecological, societal, and both
Christian and Islamic theological perspectives – inform
discussions of these questions both within the academy and in wider
public fora. This text appeals to students and researchers
in the field.
Are humans the only creatures that can appreciate God's creation?
What if consciousness is spread more widely across all things? This
volume examines panpsychism through the lens of Christian doctrine.
Minding Creation is the first substantial examination of what a
panpsychist theory of consciousness implies for key theological
debates concerning God's presence and action, evolution and the
origin of the soul, human uniqueness and the environmental crisis.
Joanna Leidenhag develops a theological panpsychism that is based
on an exceptionally wide range of scholarship. Minding Creation
draws on the theologies of historical figures such as Augustine of
Hippo, Gottfried von Leibniz and others, in order to create a
critical and constructive conversation with contemporary analytic
philosophers of mind, such as Thomas Nagel, Galen Strawson, and
David J. Chalmers. Leidenhag also discusses key concepts and
issues, such as emergence theory, divine action, and ecology. She
concludes that God created a universe from nothing which is filled
with indwelling powers, sacramental value, and intrinsic
experience. This is a creation in which the Holy Spirit is
internally present at every point, a creation that worships God,
and a creation that human beings must protect and lead in praise.
