ABSTRACT

If the theological enterprise is one, primarily, of imaginative construction toward better ways of living in and with the world-a theology that opens us onto the evolving process of continuing creation as described in the previous chapter-then a theological understanding of creation should begin from within the context of that creation. This is a creation “on the move” and “in process” and this movement and process reaches “all the way down.” If our bio-historical projections are going to be more than justifi cations for human exceptionalism, then a robust understanding of an evolving continuous creation is called for, one of which we as humans are a part.
