Christian ecotheology arguably involves a twofold critique — a Christian critique of ecological destruction and an ecological critique of Christianity. It also entails a twofold constructive task — to Christian authenticity and on that basis to the common good. This talk will consider how this fourfold task plays itself out amid global divides.
Ernst M. Conradie is a senior professor in the Department of Religion and Theology, University of the Western Cape in South Africa. Dr. Conradie is a leading expert in Christian ecotheology, as well as systematic and ecumenical theology. He developed a twelve-volume series: An Earthed Faith: Telling the Story amid the Anthropocene, involving scholars from around the world. He has authored hundreds of books and articles, and edited dozens.
Ernst Conradie is a global leader in ecotheology, an engaging speaker, a colleague, and a friend. This is a crucial topic for our times. I encourage you to come!
