Current cosmological insights have challenged us to look anew at many well-known theological concepts based on traditional interpretations of the Bible. Contemporary biblical interpretations done through an ecosensitive lens can throw new light on these theological concepts. Since spirituality reflects ones theological perception, it will be affected by this cosmological revolution.
