SOUTH WEST MINISTRY TRAINING COURSE

Book Launch

Congratulations to Christopher Southgate who is launching his latest book 'The Groaning of Creation' on 5th June 2008.  Publisher: Westminster John Knox Press.  ISBN: 978-0664230903.

‘Pain, suffering, and extinction are intrinsic to the evolutionary process.  In this book Christopher Southgate shows how the world that is "very good" is also groaning in travail and subjected by God to that travail.  Southgate then evaluates several attempts at evolutionary theodicy and argues for his own approach-an approach that takes full account of God's self-emptying and human beings' special responsibilities as created co-creators. ‘ (Amazon review)
