Celebrating God's Cosmic Perichoresis
The Eschatological Panentheism of Jürgen Moltmann as a Resource for an Ecological Christian Worship
Ecological Crisis and Christianity
In the face of today''s unprecedented ecological crisis, Christianity is often seen not only as sharing in the guilt of causing this crisis, but also as unwilling and incapable of providing any help in re-envisioning the required new way of life on earth. This view is justified when we consider how modern Christian theology has tended to denigrate the natural world and how the prevalent world-deserting Christian eschatology forms a spirituality that is fundamentally insensitive and indifferent to nature.
A Christian Contribution to Ecological Suffering
In light of this, a meaningful Christian contribution to today''s world of enormous ecological suffering must lie in envisioning a fundamentally new ecological vision of humanity''s relationship to nature as well as providing an ethical energy to transform our current path of self-destruction.
Jurgen Moltmann’s Eschatological Panentheism
In this book, Bryan J. Lee finds, in Jurgen Moltmann''s eschatological panentheism, a viable pathway toward a Christian ecological re-envisioning of the relationship between God and humanity and between humanity and nature.
Christian Worship as Ecological Transformation
Furthermore, Lee demonstrates in a persuasive way how Christian worship can and should be the epicenter of ecological transformation of the society, emphatically interpreting Christian worship as an ecological-eschatological anticipation of God''s cosmic perichoresis.
