A Theology of the Built Environment: Justice, Empowerment, Redemption

Tim Gorringe's is the first book to reflect theologically on the built environment as a whole. After considering the divine grounding of constructed space, Professor Gorringe looks at the ownership of land, the issues of housing, town and country, and the city, and then considers the built environment in terms of community and art. The book concludes with two chapters that set the whole within the framework of the environmental crisis and asks what directions the Churc h should be looking for in building for the future.
