Reflection on Proverbs 31: 10-31
by Marjorie Dobson
Reflection on Proverbs 31: 10-31 ‘A good woman is hard to find,’ they say. I’m not surprised, if you look at that picture they paint in Proverbs. It sets feminism back into the Dark Ages and even caps Shirley Conran’s Superwoman for imposing impossible demands on a woman’s time a…

CHRISTIANITY AND THE RENEWAL OF NATURE - 4d The problem of reductionism in science and dualism in religion
by SPCK - Sebastian C.H. Kim and Jonathan Draper
The problem of reductionism in science and dualism in religion Finally, I would like to put our relationship with our environment into a historical, theological and personal context. Why is it that the world’s religions seem to have had so little to say in the climate debate?…

CHRISTIANITY AND THE RENEWAL OF NATURE - 1b Responsibility for creation
by SPCK - Sebastian C.H. Kim and Jonathan Draper
Responsibility for creation It is a rather different reading of the biblical tradition from that often (lazily) assumed to be the orthodoxy of Judaeo-Christian belief. We hear regularly that this tradition authorizes the exploitation of the earth through the language in Genesis a…

CHRISTIANITY AND THE RENEWAL OF NATURE - 8 Apocalypse now: Global equity and sustainable living – the preconditions for human survival
by SPCK - Sebastian C.H. Kim and Jonathan Draper
Apocalypse now: Global equity and sustainable living – the preconditions for human survival I have taken the theme of apocalypse quite deliberately. People accuse those who are worried about the state of our world of talking apocalyptically and spreading gloom and doom, and I thi…

CHRISTIANITY AND THE RENEWAL OF NATURE - 7c Reading the signs of the times
by SPCK - Sebastian C.H. Kim and Jonathan Draper
Reading the signs of the times The spirited manner in which Northcott writes exemplifies the vocation of a public theologian as a connected critic. There is a pressing imperative to discern the signs of the times. The occasional nature of a public theology requires this capacity,…

CHRISTIANITY AND THE RENEWAL OF NATURE - 8c Local and global initiatives
by SPCK - Sebastian C.H. Kim and Jonathan Draper
Local and global initiatives But like all apocalyptic visions, painting this picture, which depicts a real threat, undermines the need to create a different future. There are new technologies that can help to make that different future possible. Denmark already gets 20 per cent o…

CHRISTIANITY AND THE RENEWAL OF NATURE - 5c Guiding principles for environmental and economic sustainability
by SPCK - Sebastian C.H. Kim and Jonathan Draper
Guiding principles for environmental and economic sustainability There are two guiding principles that seem to me to be self-evident. First, don’t use natural resources faster than they can be replenished by the planet. Second, don’t deposit wastes faster than they can be absorbe…

CHRISTIANITY AND THE RENEWAL OF NATURE - 1d Creative engagement with nature
by SPCK - Sebastian C.H. Kim and Jonathan Draper
Creative engagement with nature Renewing the face of the earth, then, is an enterprise not of imposing some private human vision on a passive nature but of living in such a way as to bring more clearly to light the interconnectedness of all things and their dependence on what we …

CHRISTIANITY AND THE RENEWAL OF NATURE - 1 Renewing the face of the earth: Human responsibility and the environment
by SPCK - Sebastian C.H. Kim and Jonathan Draper
Renewing the face of the earth: Human responsibility and the environment Some modern philosophers have spoken about the human face as the most potent sign of what it is that we can’t master or exhaust in the life of a human other – a sign of the claim upon us of the other, of the…

CHRISTIANITY AND THE RENEWAL OF NATURE - 2b The environment and the development agenda
by SPCK - Sebastian C.H. Kim and Jonathan Draper
The environment and the development agenda So now, back to our text (Rev. 8.6 –12): Four angels, one after the other, blow their trumpets and destruction falls on the earth (v. 7), the sea (v. 8), the rivers (v. 10) and heaven/the sky (v. 12). One-third of all life is affected, b…

Changing contexts Now, a little bit of autobiography. I am a child of the 1960s, a baby boomer, and therefore I am part of the luckiest generation that has ever grown up in this country, and probably in any of the member countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and …

THE WOMEN'S BIBLE COMMENTARY - Book IV
by SPCK - Newsom, Ringe and Lapsley
Book IV (Psalm 90-106) Book IV opens with “A Prayer of Moses, the Man of God.” It is the only psalm in the Hebrew Psalter ascribed to Moses. Its words are a plea to God for mercy: “Turn [shub], O YHWH! How long? Change your mind [nakham] concerning your servants” (90:13, my trans…

My practical theology DJW - God's way of change
by David John Woodman
GOD’S WAY OF CHANGE – Looks at why God does not act as a superhero, changing events and the worlds problems for the better. God's way is much slower but infinitely more rewarding and complete for the individual. So far I have determined that God answers prayers even if not as we …
