A.J. Swoboda
Tongues and Trees
Toward a Pentecostal Ecological Theology

This book develops a Pentecostal ecological theology (an ecotheology) with key pneumatological themes that emerge from the Pentecostal tradition. It examines the salient Pentecostal and Chrismatic voices that have stimulated ecotheology in the Pentecostal tradition and situates them within the broader context of Christian ecumenical ecotheologies (Roman Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, and Ecofeminist). Swoboda advances a novel approach to Pentecostal ecotheology through a pneumatology of the Spirit-baptized creation, the charismatic creational community, the holistic ecological Spirit, and the eschatological Spirit of ecological mission.

 

The first substantive contribution to a Pentecostal pneumatological theology of creation with a particular focus on the Pentecostal community and its significance for the broader ecumenical community.

"A thoughtful articulation of how the pentecostal charismatic recommendation of the gospel involves an ecological and environmental sensitivity with implications for an ethic of creation-care. ... Tongues and Trees represents a major contribution to this important theological task... I highly recommend it and its author for your thoughtful consideration." - Amos Yong (from the Foreword)
