A Theology of Creation: Ecology, Art, and Laudato Si'

Thomas S. Hibbs, "A Theology of Creation: Ecology, Art, and Laudato Si' "
English | ISBN: 0268205620 | 2023 | 208 pages | EPUB | 6 MB

This book provides the first sustained philosophical treatment of Pope Francis’s Laudato Si’ and articulates a theology of creation to recover our place within the cosmos.
