Embracing Chaos

Embracing Chaos is about the different crises during the last decade: the financial crisis, the identity crisis, the migration crisis, the Brexit crisis, the COVID19 crisis and the climate crisis. We live on the edge, from crisis to crisis, and one of the main things we can do is become more resilient and respect our planet. The book is about that new normal and leadership. It offers a valuable view of the challenges for the European Union to become a real federation - the United States of Europe - and for the West in general in defending liberal democracy. The volume describes how populism is being driven by the increase in the social divide and rising inequality and why the West needs to protect its values from propaganda from Russia & China and illiberal democracies. Fascinating in the book is the idea of creating a new Union of the West between Europe and North America.

We are living on the cusp of a new era, in which everything that we took for granted is being called into question. Professor Rotmans offers fascinating examples of successful change and encourages us to act decisively and embrace the chaos in order to build a more optimistic future.

A guided story of her life, meant to be better portrayed as a self-help ensemble for all of you amazing readers! This book should have been titled, She Has the Right to Remain Silent (But Does Not Know How To); because she tells us this wild journey she has been on, even though no one asked her to share. In an attempt to break the chains of her predetermined future, a life-long dream to help others has been laid out in these pages. Taking the bad and turning it into good, turning tears into laughter, and struggles into better tomorrows. Heather encourages everyone to keep searching and reaching for the light at the end of the journey.

This book brings together contributions from scholars from Europe and the United States to honor the theological work of Antje Jackelén, the first female Archbishop of the Church of Sweden. In Archbishop Antje Jackelén’s installation homily, she identifies the strength of the Church as a “global network of prayer threads.” This book is an honorary and celebratory volume providing a “global network of prayerful essays” by contributors from a variety of academic disciplines to creatively engage, reflect, and illuminate the theological work of Archbishop Jackelén. Prior to her tenure in the Church of Sweden as Bishop of the Diocese of Lund and now the Archbishop of the Church of Sweden, Jackelén served as professor of Systematic Theology, Director of the Zygon Center and President of European Society for the Study of Science and Religion (ESSSAT). While each essay intentionally embraces the theological and ministerial work of Jackelén during her academic tenure, they also venture into areas as diverse as climate change, media studies, human uniqueness, hermeneutics, time, ethics, Christian theological tradition and history, traumatology, politics and society. As the first diverse explication of the theological thinking of Archbishop Jackelén by her theological colleagues, this text provides scholars with an expansion of the scope of Archbishop Jackelén’s theological thinking and initiates laity into the impact of Jackelén thinking that combines with grace and precision the traditions of the Church, the challenges and gifts of the sciences, and the needs and longings of society and the world.
