| Σύνοψη: | Two problematic tendencies often arise in theological discourse on creation care. God is either seen as too detached from creation, so that creation is objectified, or God is equated with creation itself, so that God's transcendence is lost. This essay will appropriate insights from Radical Orthodoxy, suggesting a mediating, constructive position between these two negative tendencies. I will argue that creation should neither be reduced to a product of God nor regarded as identical to God. Rather, it points towards God and participates in God as his revelation. God discloses himself through creation, displaying the traces and markings o f a transcendent Creator. We must cherish, guard and care for creation not simply as responsible stewards, but as participants o f God's gift of revelation. (English) |
