I had just finished reading Moltmann's 'God in Creation.' I didn't actually finish it... I just couldn't take anymore. Occassionally his arguments went over my head. Mostly though, I didn't see any connection between his thought and the environment which I thought he was supposed to be addressing. I just read a defence of orthodox theology like creatio ex nihilo etc. In my opinion he was not really trying to do a theology of creation, but instead mount a defense against process theologians and their influence on eco-theologians.
