| Summary: | The roots of the contemporary ecological crisis demand theological re-description: economic globalisation, driven by debt, is founded on a poor epistemology constructed around a theology of money. Modern and postmodern epistemologies with a humanistic frame of reference, as well as more traditional epistemologies with a naturalistic frame of reference, are inadequate to address the contemporary predicament as well as restrictive in the space they construct for theology. An ecotheology, liberated from secular humanist constraints, is necessary to construct an adequate epistemology. |
