"Christian theology needs urgently to address the task of repairing our thinking and action in relation to fellow non-human creatures. Barth's theology has the potential to resource and inspire such work, but needs both correction and extension. Langdon's work is a landmark contribution to the reception of Barth's thought in this area." - David L. Clough, University of Aberdeen, UK "In these times of global ecojustice crisis, the great Karl Barth speaks to us afresh, thanks to this critical and insightful book. Be prepared to be challenged and instructed." - H. Paul Santmire, author of Brother Earth (1970), The Travail of Nature (1985), and EcoActivist Testament (2022).


"Could Karl Barth really be counted among the early exponents of Christian ecotheology? Adrian Langdon finds an avenue worth exploring, namely in a cosmic extension of God's electing grace. He does so thoroughly and persuasively by engaging critically and constructively with Barth's enormous legacy." - Ernst M. Conradie, University of the Western Cape, South Africa "Adrian Langdon's book is a constructive, creative, and compelling (and most welcomed!) new reading of Karl Barth's theology in critical conversation with ecotheologies. This book offers readers both a timely and fresh perspective on current pressing planetary concerns of climate change and environmental degradation by providing a rich and impressive treatment of various dogmatic loci. The fruit of Langdon's labor is a more expansive and liberative reading of Barth's doctrine of creation, making this book a vital resource for contemporary theological discourse." - Kaitlyn Dugan, Center for Barth Studies, Princeton Theological Seminary, USA.
