| Summary: | This response to Astrobiology and Christian Doctrine: Exploring the Implications of Life in the Universe raises concerns regarding whether Andrew Davison’s traditional approach to Christian theology harmonizes with both the scientific study of life in the Universe and our lived experiences, and whether it can motivate a transition from theory to praxis. Specifically, I ask what traditional theology can offer in terms of meaningful ways of thinking about creaturely agency and co-creation, and whether traditional approaches can be reframed in relational ways that consider the primacy of love. Finally, I offer some suggestions regarding further development of a cosmic eschatology. |
