Summary:	"The social and cultural challenges posed by the increasing threat to creation (due to climate change, destruction of biodiversity, etc.) are the starting point of new philosophical-ethical and theological reflections on the relationship between God, human beings and the world, as presented in this volume. God's creative impulse, which transforms everything anew, is also at work in the actions of human beings and challenges us, in view of the threat to the 'house of life', i.e., the earth, to take new paths that make a common and good life possible. Creation and transformation are interrelated; an ecological theology of creation and practice of sustainability to be developed in the European context is to be embedded in the horizon of a global, liberating theology."
