Christianity and Earthkeeping
Why should Christians engage in earthkeeping as Christians and from within Christian communities? What is the underlying theological rationale for that? In this book some 19 reasons why Christians may be encouraged to engage in earthkeeping are identified, juxtaposed and assessed in order to call for clarity, to invite discussion and to elicit creative tensions. No single position is advocated ? it would be helpful if Christians could engage in earthkeeping on the basis of any of these motivations.
Creation and Salvation: Dialogue on Abraham Kuyper’s Legacy for Contemporary Ecotheology
This volume explores the legacy of the Dutch theologian and statesman Abraham Kuyper for contemporary Christian ecotheology. A crucial problem in ecotheology is how to do justice to both creation and salvation as acts of God, given the impact of the environmental crisis and the concern for creation (as creatura). Can Kuyper help one in this regard, given his controversial legacy, especially in South Africa? The volume explores Kuyper's notions of revelation, common grace and re-creation on this basis. It is structured as an inter-continental dialogue with a set of essays by Ernst Conradie, responses from Clifford Anderson, Vincent Bacote, Hans Engdahl, Dirk van Keulen, Cornelis van der Kooi, Benjamin Myers, Leslie van Rooi and Günter Thomas, and a rejoinder.

Redeeming Sin?
In this contribution to ecotheology, Ernst Conradie addresses the question whether Christian sin-talk can be retrieved in the public sphere. He argues that sin may be regarded as a form of social diagnostics and defends the plausibility of sin-talk in conversation with evolutionary biology, animal ethology, and the cognitive sciences.
