Creation, Action, and Sabbath

What is the kind of action that a creational theology might endorse? The chapter sets up a contrast between strongly activist liberative views and a more sabbatical mood. Consideration is given to the work of Paul Knitter who has engaged extensively with the theme of creation for interfaith dialogue. However, contra Knitter, it is suggested that the quotidian is the arena par excellence for the practical sense because it happens to be the most common aspects of our lives. However, what kinds of praxis come into view? It is proposed that human work and activity (the vita activa) might be a form of creational soteriology. Finally, the chapter asks: What is the mood of a creational theology of religions? Our basic claim is that the underlying attitude generated by a turn to creation, and the ground for relations between creatures, is rest or Sabbath.
