| Sommario/riassunto: | This book compares ancient texts and modern writings to show how the Bible in Genesis centers on love for all creation and all creatures and extends far beyond those other cosmologies in its discernment of the transcending, gracious love of God. It revisits the creation and flood narratives in Genesis from a creature-loving perspective that inspires care for creation and also reveals understandings of faith, grace, and evil vital for twenty-first-century spirituality. |
