All God’s Creatures: A Theology of Creation

Daniel P. Horan, O.F.M.

Fortress Academic

The predominant “stewardship model” of creation is the result of an intentional effort to correct approaches that reinforce human sovereignty and the resulting environmental degradation. However, as All God’s Creatures argues, the stewardship model actually does not offer a correction but rather reinscribes many of the very same pitfalls. After close analysis of the stewardship model, this book identifies scriptural, theological, and philosophical sources to support the adoption of a “community of creation” paradigm. Drawing on postcolonial theory, this book proposes the concept of “planetarity” as a framework for conceiving the relationship between human and nonhuman creation, and the Creator, in a new way. This theoretical framework is grounded by a retrieval of the medieval Franciscan theological and philosophical tradition. The result is what can be called a postcolonial Franciscan theology of creation imagined in terms of planetarity, providing a constructive and nonanthropocentric response to the need for a new conceptualization of the doctrine of creation.

Discipleship in Community: A Theological Vision for the Future

Mark Powell / John Mark Hicks /
Greg McKinzie

Leafwood Publishers

Jesus said, Go and make disciples. So, what exactly are we doing?
Western churches face a difficult future marked by numerical decline and evident signs of shrinking cultural influence. But Discipleship in Community wisely asks the church to go back to basics. What does it mean to follow Jesus? What does a life of discipleship look like?

Trusted scholars Mark PowellJohn Mark Hicks, and Greg McKinzie invite you to consider how good theology can lead to better, more intentional discipleship. In Discipleship in Community you will learn
how the language of Trinity matters to everyday disciples;
how God’s plan and mission is unfolding and how, as disciples, we can participate in that mission; how the Bible is more than a book of facts and how it guides us into a relationship with God; how baptism and the Lord’s Supper allow us to experience God’s saving power; and how local churches can encourage intentional discipleship.
