Tuesday, October 25th 2016, from 6-7pm, at Chop Suey Books (2913 West Cary Street, Richmond VA), there will be a book talk featuring Kristin Swenson on her book "God of Earth: Discovering a Radically Ecological Christianity." From the event description:
"What happens if we imagine the Jesus of Christian theology to be realized in the nonhuman natural world around us? Basic to Christian belief is the notion that God, the creator of all, inhabited the earth in order to call to us. God of Earth embraces this central premise of Christianity - Jesus as both fully divine and fully carnate - and then allows for the possibility that such a Jesus need not be limited to a human man. What if Jesus were "God of earth" - not only over earth but also in and through it? As Swenson tracks that question through the cycle of a church year, she invites readers to reconsider our relationship to the nonhuman natural world and so experience new dimensions of the sacred and new possibilities for hope and healing."
Free, open to the public. For more information and to RSVP, see the link.
