Life Abundant
Book Description
In a world where faith and daily life often feel disconnected, theologian Sallie McFague presents a compelling case for why deep spiritual reflection matters more than ever. She contends that contemporary Christians cannot simply coast on inherited beliefs if they hope to contribute meaningfully to the wellbeing of both humanity and our planet.
McFague crafts this theological primer as a practical guide for believers seeking to examine their fundamental assumptions about existence, purpose, and responsibility. Rather than offering abstract theories, she provides accessible tools for evaluating personal faith stories against the broader sweep of Christian tradition and the urgent environmental realities we face today.
The author reimagines classical theological concepts through a planetary lens, exploring fresh perspectives on the divine relationship with creation, the meaning of salvation in an interconnected world, and what it means to live spiritually in our current socioeconomic climate. Her approach bridges the gap between ancient wisdom and contemporary challenges, showing how thoughtful religious engagement can address the complex issues of our time.
Written in clear, engaging language, this work serves as both an invitation to deeper spiritual inquiry and a roadmap for Christians who want their faith to actively contribute to flourishing communities and a healthy Earth. McFague demonstrates that theology is not merely academic exercise but essential preparation for meaningful discipleship in the modern world.
