How do ideas about humanity and divinity interrelate with how we live our lives? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIts contributors address energy in at least three distinct ways. First, in terms of physics, the discovery of dark energy in 1998 uncovered a mysterious force that seems to be driving the expansion of the universe. Here cosmology converges with theological reflection about the nature and origin of the universe. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSecond, the social and ecological contexts of energy use and the current energy crisis have theological implications insofar as they are caught up with ultimate human meanings and values. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFinally, in more traditional theological terms of divine spiritual energy, we can ask how human conceptions of energy relate to divine energy in terms of creative power.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDonna Bowman is Associate Professor and Associate Dean of the Honors College at the University of Central Arkansas.
