J. Johnson Leese discusses how the apostle Paul's writing on Christ's relationship to creation, read alongside the interpretations of Irenaeus of Lyon, provide a meaningful contribution to contemporary debates on the interrelationship between religion and nature. Leese draws upon the integration of three related scholarly trends - the increased importance placed on biblical creation themes, the emergence of ecotheology, and the history of reception - while focusing on the Pauline corpus and readings of Paul by Irenaeus, thus uncovering a robust creation and ecotheological theology. Irenaeus' approach provides the possibility for Paul to contribute to ecotheology, by way of a theological vision where the whole of reality in relationship to Christ and creation and by extension, to soteriology and ecclesiology, are central components of Paul's theology 410 0$aLibrary of New Testament studies. 606 $aCreation$xBiblical teaching 606 $2Biblical studies & exegesis 606 $aEcotheology 615 0$aCreation$xBiblical teaching. 615 0$aEcotheology. 676 $a231.7/65 700 $aJohnson Leese$b J.
