And it was not good anymore: The Ecofeminist Theologies of Sallie McFague and Catherine Keller and the Dialectical Theology of K.H. Miskotte

The ecofeminist theologies of Sallie McFague and Catherine Keller are seemingly opposed to the dialectical theology of Kornelis Heiko Miskotte. In this study, their theologies are brought into a staged discussion to address the question of how we might think about the relationship between God and the more-than-human nature of our times.

An ecofeminist theology that acknowledges God's alterity in the intimacy of the flesh, offers a prophetic way to relate to the endangerment of life on Earth.

McFAGUE and KELLER propose an image of God that is bodily and immanently interconnected with the more-than-human nature. Such an image of God, which implies thinking beyond human centrism, is significant in our context of ecological crisis.

Like his theological friend Karl Barth, MISKOTTE rejected natural theology, but he is also known for his intense love of 'nature' and unwavering valuation of earthly life. Although he thought of God as entirely different, Miskotte believed that God is also intimately present in creation.
