Constructing an Eco-Theology Through the Framework of Eschatology
Abstract
The aim of this thesis is to develop and explore an eco-theology through the lens of eschatology that sees the good creation of God as redeemable and ultimately restored. Looking at current trends of eco-theology it is possible to see that it can be constructed using many different theological paradigms. This thesis will build an eco-theology through an eschatological model offering the reader a glimpse into the future hope of God’s redeemed creation and how it applies to our current environmental views.
