Over the past forty years, the Natural Environment has received more attention of the two, but that is beginning to change. With a renewed interest in \"place\" within various academic disciplines and the practical issues of rising fuel costs and scarcity of land, the Built Environment has emerged as a coherent and engaging subject for academic and popular consideration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile there is a growing body of work on the Built Environment, very little approaches it from a distinctly Christian perspective. This major new work represents a comprehensive and grounded approach. Employing tools from the field of theology and culture, it demonstrates how looking at the Built Environment through a theological lens provides a unique perspective on questions of beauty, justice, and human flourishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThinking Theologically about the Built Environment \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Eric Jacobsen sets himself two goals: to get us to attend to urban space--the space between the buildings in a city or village--and to explain why Christians in particular should care about the quality of urban space. He succeeds admirably on both counts.

Given the scale of what we have built--from the sprawling exurbs to the troubled cities--there is much to say and do. \u003ci\u003eThe Space Between\u003c\/i\u003e opens our imaginations to see that the places we make can and should be sustainable realizations of beauty and places of justice.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eChristopher C.

In this compelling and beautifully written book, Jacobsen tells us how that has happened, why it matters, and what we should be doing about it. This book calls us to think again, and more theologically, about the way our built environment shapes our life together.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eMurray Rae\u003c\/b\u003e, University of Otago\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEric O.
