Description Readers' comments

This work aims to explore the eschatological theme of salvation with reference to our relationship with the natural order. First, we will delve into the thought of theologian Sallie McFague, who presents a reflection centered on the idea of Earth as the body of God. Through this metaphor, the Author intends to outline a theological perspective that leverages the unifying and ontologically relational bond that unites human beings and creation to God’s saving love. We will then analyze the thought of Elizabeth Johnson. The latter will lead us into a reflection within which the Cross is taken up as a symbol of salvation for the whole of creation, both human and natural. Finally, we will formulate a brief conclusion not only to highlight the theoretical confluences between the two authors but, also, to outline some criticisms of the perspectives of ecological salvation they propose.
