Promotional Details
"The Place of Story and the Story of Place stands out for its unique content. The book's strength lies in its broad scope, encompassing a diverse range of geographical, confessional, and theological perspectives. The authors, representing a variety of genders, races, ages, and languages, offer fresh methodologies and perspectives that push the boundaries of Christian ecotheology. This volume provokes interlocutors in a novel manner, inviting them to reimagine Christian ecotheology in an intercultural and ecumenical frame. This book successfully invites engagement with a new methodological approach and broadening of the epistemic horizons."
--Kuzipa Nalwamba, Unity, Mission and Ecumenical Formation Programme, World Council of Churches, Grand-Saconnex, Switzerland

"The Place of Story and the Story of Place is a subversive book that challenges the dominant creation theology. It offers a creative, polyphonic perspective that situates creation theology in specific places and spaces. This restoration of creation theology is a powerful critique of the obsession with pristine nature, proposing a situated ecotheology rooted in locations of exclusion and plunder. This volume, the third in the "An Earthed Faith: Telling the Story amid the 'Anthropocene'" series, is a must-read for those passionate about environmental justice, offering an earthed faith perspective that is both challenging and inspiring."
--George Zachariah, Trinity Methodist Theological College Te Haahi Weteriana o Aotearoa, Auckland, New Zealand

"In this visionary and inspiring third volume of the "An Earthed Faith: Telling the Story amid the 'Anthropocene'" series, an ensemble of leading international ecotheologians from various geographical locations and confessional traditions retune the story of God's creative love to reflections on place, drawing on geography, biology, indigenous creation stories, and the wisdom that comes from inhabiting and caring for the land. Foregrounding the experiences of inhabitation by peoples marginalized by capitalist colonial regimes and attending to a plurality of earth-stories, this groundbreaking scholarly book significantly refractures the colonial framing of most theologies of creation. This important, path-breaking work opens new vistas for how to do ecotheology in a decolonial key."
--Hilda P. Koster, Regis St. Michael's Faculty of Theology, Toronto School of Theology, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada
