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. These tensions arise out of the theological loci of
cosmology, anthropology, and eschatology. The individual paradigms
of the taxonomy are critically elucidated through the work of
Thomas Aquinas, Thomas Berry, Dumitru St Niloae, and Jurgen
Moltmann and Andrew Linzey. McLaughlin systematically develops the
paradigm of cosmocentric transfiguration, arguing that the entire
cosmos-including all instantiations of life therein-shares in the
eschatological hope of a harmonious participation in God's triune
life, a participation that entails the end of suffering, predation,
and death. This paradigm yields an ethics based upon a tension
between preservation and protest. 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.
