- Double-weighted statement
- This multidisciplinary monograph presents a novel approach to the question of evolutionary theodicy. Drawing on biblical studies, ecology, evolutionary theory, animal behaviour studies and systematic theology it explores the themes of creation, divine action and redemption in relation to the non-human world. It is the first book that advanced an animal theodicy without appealing to the fallenness of creation. It also presents a new fractal mosaic approach to the question of non-human redemption. The claim to double weighting rests on the complexity of the topic, the originality of approach, and the range of disciplines upon which the study draws.
