What if consciousness is spread more widely across all things? This volume examines panpsychism through the lens of Christian doctrine. \u003ci\u003eMinding Creation\u003c\/i\u003eis the first substantial examination of what a panpsychist theory of consciousness implies for key theological debates concerning God's presence and action, evolution and the origin of the soul, human uniqueness and the environmental crisis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJoanna Leidenhag develops a theological panpsychism that is based on an exceptionally wide range of scholarship. \u003ci\u003eMinding Creation\u003c\/i\u003e draws on the theologies of historical figures such as Augustine of Hippo, Gottfried von Leibniz and others, in order to create a critical and constructive conversation with contemporary analytic philosophers of mind, such as Thomas Nagel, Galen Strawson, and David J. Chalmers. Leidenhag also discusses key concepts and issues, such as emergence theory, divine action, and ecology. She concludes that God created a universe from nothing which is filled with indwelling powers, sacramental value, and intrinsic experience. This is a creation in which the Holy Spirit is internally present at every point, a creation that worships God, and a creation that human beings must protect and lead in praise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoanna Leidenhag\u003c\/b\u003e is Lecturer in Theology at the University of St Andrews, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 216\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.45 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 28, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51784495300896,"sku":"9780567696892","price":77.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/5c0c66f8f426ea117fe5e15363c10191.webp?v=1780604692","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/minding-creation-theological-panpsychism-and-the-doctrine-of-creation-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
