Christian Solar Symbolism and Jesus the Sun of Justice

Kevin Duffy, The Church of Notre Dame de France, UK

Kevin Duffy suggests that we rebalance a spiritual symbolism that has over-emphasised darkness and cloud at the expense of light and sun He proposes a creative retrieval of the traditional title of Christ as the Sun of Justice This book blends the personal, the social and the cosmic-ecological, speaking powerfully to a secularising era that contemporaries Friedrich Nietzsche and Thérèse of Lisieux both described as one where 'the sun does not shine'

Concentrated Creation Creation and Salvation in the Christology of Edward Schillebeeckx

Rhona Lewis, Rhona Lewis, Independent Scholar, UK

In this analysis of the Thomist and Irenaean sources of Edward Schillebeeckx’s creation faith, God’s absolute saving presence to humanity is found to be intrinsic to his creative action This becomes most explicit in God’s humanity in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ Lewis argues that Jesus is both God’s invitation to humanity and is himself the perfect human response to God Because of this, Jesus' followers are called to be engaged in God’s saving action, by working to remove suffering from people and to build a better world in which all may flourish.

Bonhoeffer and Christology Revisiting Chalcedon

Edited by Matthias Grebe, Nadine Hamilton & Christian Schlenker

The volume takes a fresh look at Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Christology and brings it into a fruitful dialogue with current Christological debates The key question this volume addresses is 'how does Bonhoeffer's thought help to re(dis)cover the doctrine of Christ's two natures and one person and understand and renew it in its significance for a modern post-metaphysical and secular world?’

In Solidarity with the Earth A Multi-Disciplinary Theological Engagement with Gender, Mining and Toxic Contamination

Edited by Hilda P. Koster, University of St Michael's College, University of Toronto, Canada & Celia Deane-Drummond, Campion Hall, University of Oxford, UK

Engages an international consortium of theologians, sociologists, and environmental scientists on the effects of resource extraction and pollution on women’s lives, in particular the lives of poor, minoritized and Indigenous women Based on case studies, the book creates a multidisciplinary conversation on the gendered vulnerabilities resulting from extractive industries and toxic pollution, and also charts the resilience and courage of women as they resist polluting industries, fight for clean water and seek to protect the land. While ecumenical in scope, the book takes its departure from the concept of integral ecology introduced in Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si’

Climate Change and the Symbol Deficit in the Christian Tradition

Expanding Gendered Sources

Jan-Olav Henriksen, MF Norwegian School of Theology, Norway

Henriksen examines the potential of the Christian tradition to develop symbols that can engage peoples in committed and sustained action to prevent further climate crisis To do so, he argues that we need to develop symbols that engage both intellectually and emotionally, and which enhance our perception of belonging in relationships with other humans, both in the present and in the future

T&T Clark Handbook of Suffering and the Problem of Evil

Edited by Matthias Grebe & Johannes Grössl, Siegen University, Germany

The T&T Clark Handbook of Suffering and the Problem of Evil provides an extensive exploration of the theology of theodicy, asking questions such as should all instances of suffering necessarily be understood as evil? Why would an omnipotent and benevolent God allow or perpetrate evil? Is God unable or unwilling to reduce human and non-human suffering on Earth? Does humanity have the capacity to exercise a moral evaluation of God’s motives and intentions?
