Abstract

This book is a response to Pope Francis' call to embrace a change that involves a renewal and conversion centered on the Gospel of Jesus, considering the spiritual, social, and integral dimensions of human beings. It delves into current theological topics related to the care of our common home, the building of a culture of encounter to move towards a culture of mutual care. It consists of two parts: "Ecoteology: Towards the Care of the Diversity of Our Common Home," which addresses concepts such as ecoteology, the environmental situation presented in Laudato Si', and the possibility of an ecological conversion; and "Caring for One Another: Spirituality for a Culture of Encounter and Fraternity," which follows from the previous part by asserting that everything in divine creation is interconnected. It acknowledges the diversity of people and cultures, and presents theological content for embracing that diversity and encountering others. The book aims to enrich awareness of these issues, demonstrate the scope of theology, and bring to life the Pope's call for the renewal and conversion of the current world.
