Creation and Humanity: A Constructive Christian Theology for the Pluralistic World, Volume 3

This third volume of Veli-Matti Karkkainen’s ambitious five volume
theology project develops a Christian theology of creation
and humanity (theological anthropology) in dialogue with
the Christian tradition, with contemporary theology in all its
global and contextual diversity, and with other major living
faiths - Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism.

In constructing his theology of creation and humanity, Karkkainen uniquely engages the natural sciences, including physical,
cosmological, and neuroscientific theories. He devotes
particular attention to the topics of divine action in a world
subjected to scientific study, environmental pollution, human
flourishing, and the theological implications of evolutionary
theory - with regard to both cosmos and humanity.
