The Travail of Nature: The Ambiguous Ecological Promise of Christian Theology
The Travail of Nature shows that the theological tradition
in the West is neither ecologically bankrupt, as some of its
popular and scholarly critics have maintained, nor replete with
immediately accessible, albeit long-forgotten, ecological riches
hidden everywhere in its deeper vaults, as some contemporary
Christians, who are profoundly troubled by the environmental
crisis and other related concerns, might wistfully hope to find.
This is why it is appropriate to speak of the ambiguous
ecological promises of Christian theology.

"At last we have a fair, historically responsible assessment of the view of nature in the tradition of Christian theology! The book is also an appeal for contemporary Christians to accent the themes or metaphors within the tradition that will allow them, in full responsibility to their heritage, to bring the church onto the side of ecological sensitivity."
