| Summary: | The model of God as creation's ΟΙΚΟΣ or oikos opens up an ecological, panentheistic view of creation within God. God ‘εν’-in whom the cosmos unfolds - echoes the trinitarian insight of relationality, immanent in God personalized in the oikonomia of creation. A holistic theology realizes that, together with all beings, we must live responsibly. This idea can evoke the religious sense that every being is valuable and that the whole forms a unity. No being can be known as inferior to another. A retrieved eco-theological view of the scheme of things and our place in it can be a call to respect all life. To know the world neither anthropocentrically nor as isolated beings displaces humans as the central goal of creation and repositions them as partners in its process. New science helps us realize our cosmic interrelated being and a sense of the whole. |
