Traces of God in the Created World. Theology of Nature and Church Teaching and Preaching on Ecological Issues

Summary/Abstract: The encyclical Laudato si' by pope Francis shows the importance of ecological themes for the Church of our time. They shouldn't be lacking in the proclamation of the Word of God. This article is an attempt to respond to this challenge based on the theology of nature, which consists in searching for traces of God in the world. Its starting point is the theological concept of the nature as the creature and the idea of the universal revelation of God in the created world. After discussing the main premises of the theology of nature, ethical consequences of this conception (conservation of nature as a religious obligation resulting from the faith in God as the creator of the world) and hints concerning the possibilities of using the impulses arising from the theology of nature in ecclesiastical preaching were presented.
