The Gift of Creation

236 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

What does it mean to consider creation as a divine gift? In the post-Laudato Si' era, it has become more important than ever to rediscover and further develop a Catholic philosophy and theology of creation. To that end, a diversity of scholars has produced this collection of essays that examine our relationship with the creator and the created world through a variety of lenses. The authors of these chapters engage timeless visionaries, such as St. Augustine and St. Hildegard of Bingen, as well as more contemporary voices, like Edith Stein (St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross) and Ferdinand Ulrich, as they endeavor to deepen our understanding of Catholic teaching on creation and the nature of being. Featuring contributions from internationally recognized philosophers and theologians--including Rocco Buttiglione, William Cavanaugh, Salvador Antunano Alea, and others--this volume seeks to challenge the reader in an examination of what it means to receive the gift of creation.
