Abstract:

"In this work, Sallie McFague argues that responsible discipleship today entails disciplined religious reflection. Theology matters: without serious reflection on their worldview, ultimate commitments, and lifestyle, North American Christians cannot hope to help ensure the "good life" for all people and the planet. McFague has therefore written a primer in theology to help Christians assess their own religious story in light of the larger Christian tradition and the felt needs of the Earth. In lucid prose she offers creative discussions of how a planetary theology might approach our contemporary socioeconomic context and rethink classical topics of God and the world, Christ and salvation, and life in the Spirit."--BOOK JACKET.
