Theology Religion constructive theology creature Appalachia mountaintop removal flesh rural industrial resource extraction urbanization anthropocentrism philosophy of space 19th century religion Christianity Henri Lefebvre Maurice Merleau-Ponty The following dissertation articulates a constructive theology of creatureliness that speaks from within the particularities of Appalachia’s spatial topography and religious culture. I analyze the historical development and ecological implications of industrial resource extraction, specifically the practice of mountaintop removal, within the broader framework of urbanization and anthropocentrism. Drawing on the unique religio-cultural traditions of the region, particularly its 19th century expressions of Christianity, I employ a spatial hermeneutic through which I emphasize the region’s environmental and bodily elements and articulate a theological argument for the “creaturely flesh” of Appalachia. 2018-05-31 English text University of Dayton / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=dayton1524776446663574 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=dayton1524776446663574 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
