Text of Note

This article examines the way in which the theology of Jonathan Edwards can contribute to the construction of a Christian approach to ecological ethics that maintains crucial elements of the Christian theological tradition. By way of comparison, the article begins with an examination of the work of Rosemary Radford Ruether, whose approach to dealing with the ecological implications of the Christian tradition diverges sharply from the perspective offered by Edwards, and provides a useful contrast to his approach. The article then turns to an extensive discussion of Edwards' view of nature and the theology of creation, particularly the relationship between creation and the triune nature of God. The final sections examine an application of Edwards' theology of creation to the development of a Christian environmental ethic.
