Rigby takes each day of the Genesis 1 creation narrative as the launching point for critical theological engagement with early writers like Basil of Caesarea and Ambrose of Milan, with contemporary concerns about the state of our planet's well-being, and with faith-based initiatives from around the world that are contributing to the healing and restoration of the world. By attending to planetary well-being, Rigby's unique and striking approach to the hexameron captures both the devastation of current anthropogenic climate change and the precious hope for salvific healing in Shalom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUS$36.00\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRELIGION \/ Christian Theology \/ General\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRELIGION \/ Religion \u0026amp; Science\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRELIGION \/ Christian Rituals \u0026amp; Practice \/ General\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMeditations on Creation in an Era of Extinction\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEcology \u0026amp; Justice Series\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCover design: Diane Mastrogiulio\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCover art: Leonard French, \u003ci\u003eSeven Days of Creation: The Seventh Day\u003c\/i\u003e.
