Abstract

‘Christ is the firstborn of all the dead of Darwin’s tree of life.’ Extending western theology’s emphasis on the grace of human salvation, deep resurrection makes the case that in the end all creatures will be gathered into a new heaven and a new earth by the same ineffable love of God. The reasoning depends on an ecological interpretation of Jesus Christ known as deep incarnation, which sees that the Word made flesh enters into the biological tissue of creation itself. The salvific meaning of the cross and resurrection of Christ then affects not only human beings but also the whole natural world. Ethical care for the Earth results.
