Fetishism Revisited: In the Animistic Lens of Eco-pneumatology *

Fetishism Revisited: In the Animistic Lens of Eco-pneumatology * Abstract In the context of ecological destruction and the emergence of numerous eco-spiritualities the challenge for Christian theology is to address the question: Where does the Spirit, who liberates nature, take place today? This is addressed in three sections: In a first section pneumatology is revisioned as ecological soteriology while the Spirit is portrayed as a giver and liberator of life. In a second section it is suggested that the doctrine of the Spirit may be reinterpreted in the context of the spatial turn of theology in terms of faith in the Spirit’s inhabitation . The third and concluding section offers an argument for an ecological pneumatology in synergy with animism , an approach which investigates the critical potentials of resisting and overcoming the fetishism of late modern capitalism. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Reformed Theology Brill

Abstract

Abstract In the context of ecological destruction and the emergence of numerous eco-spiritualities the challenge for Christian theology is to address the question: Where does the Spirit, who liberates nature, take place today? This is addressed in three sections: In a first section pneumatology is revisioned as ecological soteriology while the Spirit is portrayed as a giver and liberator of life. In a second section it is suggested that the doctrine of the Spirit may be reinterpreted in the context of the spatial turn of theology in terms of faith in the Spirit’s inhabitation . The third and concluding section offers an argument for an ecological pneumatology in synergy with animism , an approach which investigates the critical potentials of resisting and overcoming the fetishism of late modern capitalism.
