(TABLE OF CONTENTS)

This volume is a collection of essays dedicated to Jim A. Nash. The work of Jim Nash on environmental ethics, its relation to ecumenical engagement and to public theology, grows out of a context of increasing concern for the world, its ecological integrity and the well being of all sentient life. These are not topics easily objectified. As the theologian Jürgen Moltmann reminds us, What we call the environmental crisis is not merely a crisis in the natural environment of human beings. It is nothing less than a crisis in human beings themselves. James Nash was aware of this and it drove him to write not only about nature and the human predicament but also about related topics in public theology with relation to church and society.
