Lived Theology for the Whole of Life

This book is an invitation to envision an experiential theology that interconnects the personal, the interpersonal, the communal, the societal, and the creational, held together by a God who is not removed from creation but who is infused in the very life of all beings and things of the created world. Since God has created and continues to create life that is good, this prompts us to apply a consistently for-life ethic to the issues which confront them in the present day. Our for-life faith commitments include our personal challenges with alienation, fear, and forgiveness; how we can live a consistently for-life ethic in the face of social challenges such as poverty, abortion, violence, racism, and the "othering" of those who are "different;" the climate crisis; and the dangers posed today by imperialism, war, and contemporary forms of colonialism. This attempt to weave together a for-life ethic for the whole of life is especially influenced by non-Western and indigenous theologies, in particular the relational theology that has emerged from Pacific Islander theologians.
