Christian Animism, Green Spirit Theology, and the Global Crisis Today
[Article]
Mark I. Wallace
Leiden
Brill
This essay analyses the biblical promise and ethic of Christian animism: because everything God made is a bearer of the Holy Spirit human beings are obligated to care for creation. Three points are made. a) A retrieval of the Spirit's disclosure of herself in the biblical literatures as one with the four cardinal elements -Earth, air, water, and fire. b) An analysis of how the Spirit is the "soul" of the Earth-the breath of creation-and the Earth is the "flesh" of the Spirit-the living landscapes of divine presence. c) A study of the significance of the church surviving in a period when the message of the Gospel is fundamentally threatened; this is the alarming status confessionis of our time. The hope of Christian animism-the vision of a shared and verdant Earth saturated with divine presence-is the ground for religiously charged transformative responses to the crisis of unsustainable living today.
