Description: "The author reclaims the patristic christological use of perichoresis by showing how in bringing together different entities, such as God and Nature in unity as the one person of Christ, we can acknowledge the perichoresis between divine human and nature. Christological perichoresis supports the idea that the whole creation is included in God's recreated cosmos, in response to the redeeming power of Christ who entered the web of life as a creature. Trinitarian relationships bear a christological message for intentional openness towards the 'other'. Thus ecofeminism can be considered from a Christian view, realizing Christ's 'cosmic' role in the salvations of the entire cosmos."--Jacket cover.
