This fifth volume of the series on “An Earthed Faith” focuses on the theme of salvation. The volume addresses the following core question: What difference does the Christian message of salvation make amid current ecological destruction and apocalyptic fears associated with the “Anthropocene”? The “saving grace” in the title of this volume is ambiguous and ironic to indicate that the story is highly contested but is at best understood as good news for the whole Earth. The volume thus acknowledges and engages a critique of Christian soteriology from the perspective of ecotheology, yet also allows for a constructive retrieval of the message of salvation. The ten contributors were selected in order to optimize a diversity of positions in terms of geographical context, confessional traditions, and theological schools, while also taking considerations of gender, race, age, and language into account. The volume captures and extends the current state of the debate on soteriology and ecology, while also indicating emerging horizons in Christian ecotheology in this regard.
