Good God
Green Theology and the Value of Creation
Examines our inherited value judgements about the world and their roots in different
theories of creation. The book explores the relationship between value judgements,
cosmology and ethics to argue for defending the natural order and therefore adopting
a ‘green’ agenda for social objectives, quite distinct from the left-right spectrum
of modern political discourse.
Spiritual awareness is back. Gone are the days when belief in God seemed to be dying
out. But simply reaffirming older religious beliefs will not meet our present needs.
Instead we need to explore how spiritual reality can affirm modern knowledge and
help us make sense of the universe and our place in it. This book explores the main
reasons for believing, including design, values, morality and religious experience.
It shows how our lives as we experience them make far better sense in the context
of a divine being than without one.
