This is so momentous that many scientists and scholars now argue that we have left the relative climactic stability of the Holocene and have entered a new geological epoch known as the Anthropocene. This emerging epoch may prompt us not only to reconsider our understanding of Earth systems, but also to reimagine ourselves and what it means to be human. How does the Earth?s precarious state reveal our own? How does this vulnerable condition prompt new ways of thinking and being? The essays that are part of this collection consider how the transformative thinking demanded by our vulnerability inspires us to reconceive our place in the cosmos, alongside each other and, potentially, before God. Who are we ?after? (the concept of) the Anthropocene? What forms of thought and structures of feeling might attend us in this state? How might we determine our values and to what do we orient our hopes? Faith, a conceptual apparatus for engaging the unseen, helps us weigh the implications of this massive, but in some ways, mysterious, force on the lives we lead; faith helps us visualize what it means to exist in this new and still emergent reality. 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 606 $aBiology, life sciences$2bicssc 606 $aEcological science, the Biosphere$2bicssc 610 $aglobalization 610 $aclimate change 610 $aAnthropocene 610 $aplanetarity 610 $ajeremiad 610 $aanthropocene 610 $asaving grace 610 $arhetoric 610 $adoomsday 610 $aspiritual crisis 610 $aeco-anxiety 610 $adespair 610 $ahope 610 $avirtue 610 $aclimate crisis 610 $aselfhood 610 $apersonhood 610 $aSpirit 610 $aChristology 610 $abreathing 610 $aself-loss 610 $atransformed self 610 $aBook of Nature 610 $aHugh of Saint Victor 610 $aBruno Latour 610 $aTimothy Morton 610 $aSlavoj ?i?ek 610 $aecology and religion 610 $aeco-theology 610 $apredation 610 $afood 610 $aecology 610 $aEucharist 610 $aEarth 610 $asacrament 610 $aritual 610 $aresurrection 610 $aPlumwood 610 $aAbram 610 $asacred 610 $aYellowstone 610 $aBhutan 610 $aJordan River 610 $areligion 610 $amultispecies 610 $aecotheology 610 $anovelty 610 $apostcolonial ecocriticism 610 $aDerek Walcott 610 $atheodicy 610 $apoetics 610 $awonder 610 $aeschatology 610 $aNoah 610 $aAdam and Eve 610 $agrief and mourning 610 $aextinction 610 $aclimate humanism 610 $aecocriticism 610 $afaith 610 $avulnerability 610 $aenvironment 615 7$aResearch & information: general 615 7$aBiology, life sciences 615 7$aEcological science, the Biosphere 700 $aWickman$b Matthew$4edt$01135895 702 $aSherman$b Jacob$4edt 702 $aWickman$b Matthew$4oth 702 $aSherman$b Jacob$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557402303321 996 $aFaith after the Anthropocene$93023589 997 $aUNINA
