Freedom, Joy and Hope - Christology, Creation & Ecological Ethics
Andrew Shepherd
Abstract

Abstract
The world is becoming increasingly aware that we live in a time of ‘ecological crisis'. Humanity's lack of care for the natural world seemingly threatens ‘life' itself on the planet. This paper unpacks a biblical-theological basis for creation-care. Particular focus will be given to how a Christological understanding of creation offers the basis for ethical behaviour grounded in freedom, joy and hope - elements often missing within the broader field of ecological ethics.
