“Creation,
Nature and the Built Environment”
The theme is to be interpreted
broadly and from the disciplines of philosophy, theology, social science,
literature and the arts. Topics
that might be investigated include: overcoming the ugly and searching for the
beautiful; pantheism and the natural environment; creation, new creation and
salvation; landscape in Australian literature and its intersection with human
activity; humanism, art, architecture and the built environment; beauty as truth
and goodness; policy, politics and stewardship; the future: alienation or
harmony.
The conference specifically
aims to foster interaction between scholars in the universities and scholars in
theological colleges. It also
encourages young scholars.
