PLEASE ANSWER QUESTION 1 AND QUESTION 2:
QUESTION 1. In Chapter 7 of Environmental Science and Theology in Dialogue,beginning on page 122, the authors conclude that “the environmental crisis . . . must be considered a major revelatory event in our time and space.” And on page 123 they state that the “environmental crisis . . . has challenged theology to reconfigure its understanding of God and God’s action in the world.” From Chapter 8, select one of the “Ecological Models of God: God in Process,” pp. 148-162, and explain how that particular model is a reconfiguration of how one understands God and God’s action in the world and how that model is different from a model that stresses the transcendence of God.
QUESTION 2. Environmental Science and Theology in Dialogue, Chapter 8, Subsection, “Steps to Sustainability,” pp. 180-191, lists twelve (12) “personal, public, and global steps we need to take to achieve a sustainable society.” Please choose the three (3) steps that you judge to be most important, listed in order of priority, [number 1 first, number 2 second, etc.], giving the reasons for the three steps that you have selected and why they would help achieve a sustainable society.
