1 For example, Elizabeth A. Johnson issued an early call to heed the cry of the Earth and asked how natural law can still function as a moral guide if the laws of nature themselves are “shot through with chance and indeterminacy”; see “Presidential Address: Turn to the Heavens and the Earth: Retrieval of the Cosmos in Theology,” CTSA Proceedings 51 (1996): 8, 12. Marjorie Hewitt Suchocki's work on evolutionary development and sin contributes a creative spirituality of reconciliation through memory, creativity, and imagination; see The Fall to Violence: Original Sin in Relational Theology (New York: Continuum, 1995).

Aside from Levine, women theologians seem to be underrepresented in the dialogue, though many women are leading voices in the field of faith and science; witness other reviewers in this colloquium. Women do appear in the footnotes in greater density.
