Description

In this episode, Dr John Moffatt SJ’s discussion on Christian Creation Theology examines various perspectives on life’s meaning, justice, and environmental responsibility, contrasting secular worldviews like Epicureanism and Marxism with Christian teachings. He highlights that creation is inherently good and that both the Old and New Testaments advocate justice and care for the marginalised.


Drawing on thinkers like Thomas Aquinas and Pope Francis, Dr John Moffatt underscores the concept of the "Universal Destination of Goods," arguing for a shared stewardship of Earth’s resources.
