The Earth is the Lord’s Reflection on Stewardship in the Asian Context

Abigail Santos Aramburo — Wed, 25 May 2022 16:27:21 +0000

Thirteen chapters, twenty contributors, seeking to define God’s mandate for humanity regarding His creation amidst global environmental and financial crisis. Publishing this collection of essays thus meets the need of the hour. All throughout, stewardship served as the biblical-theological justification for responsibility towards creation as well as governance, handling capital, and the uplift of the marginalized. Dr. Timoteo D. Gener Associate Dean of Faculty Asian Theological Seminary This book offers a more holistic and satisfying path towards environmental conservation and management. It challenges the Christian to fulfill the creation mandate to till the garden and keep it. But this book goes beyond environmental stewardship as it also covers financial stewardship and effective leadership. I challenge you to read this book with an open mind. But be warned: Your lifestyle may be transformed! Dr. Rodel D. Lasco Senior Scientist, World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) Pastor, Trinity Bible Church, San Pablo City

Why, O God? Disaster, Resiliency and The People of God

Many Asian countries are on the “Ring of Fire” with its history of volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons, and other extreme weather events. In this book, scholars and practitioners have provided us with a rich resource for theological reflection on natural disasters as well as strategies of intervention, support, and help. The book wrestles with the human heart cry in the face of suffering—“Where were you, O God?”—and the pressing question—“Does God manage the events of nature, or not?” It also gives practical suggestions on what can be done to help people heal, rebuild, and map out long-term strategies for future disasters. In this anthology, theology and human compassion weave a wonderful web of human resilience, showing how the church can be an agent of support and transformation in times of disaster.

God at the Borders: Globalization, Migration and Diaspora

Abigail Santos Aramburo — Wed, 25 May 2022 15:33:25 +0000

From the ATS Theological Forum topic of the same title, various theologians tackle the challenges of this new global world from a biblical, theological and missional perspective. This world, where millions of people are on the move due to war, natural disasters, and ever changing global economic realities, is, at the same time, vastly connected so much so that teaching and ministry of a church in New York and Nairobi can be available to church leaders in Manila or Shanghai. This volume highlights the missiona opportunities of a world on the move as people relocate and seek to find "home," and hopefully, home with God and the community of faith. Also, it recognizes that much of the biblical story is one of God being with His people in transition and on the move. God is indeed the Migrant God. And it acknowledges that our theologizing can't be statitc but dynamic as we seek to re-appropriate the long wisdom of the church for ever-changing times and contexts.
