Book launch: Green Theology—emerging 21st-Century Muslim and Christian discourses on ecology

Faculty of Divinity, West Road, Cambridge, CB3 9BS. 18.00 – 19.00
Framed by an introduction and afterword, this new volume reflects on environmental issues in the context of the current climate emergency, with articles from diverse denominations and schools of thought. It provides a unique intellectual space for international experts in the two theological worlds as well as specialists in science and architecture to discuss the most pressing matters of ecology and care for the earth. This model of interreligious and interdisciplinary collaboration is likely to help scholars network even more closely, both inside their home traditions and with their theological neighbours. At this Cambridge launch event, a discussion of the book will be presented by Professor Lejla Demiri (Tübingen) and Dr Tim Winter (Cambridge). …
