This paper proposes a synthesis of Christological and pneumatological insights to present a more inclusive vision of creation’s role in divine worship and redemption. While deep incarnation emphasizes Christ’s identification with all of creation, this study extends the discussion by incorporating the Spirit’s ongoing work through the framework of animal glossolalia. Nonhuman creatures are seen not merely as passive recipients of Christ’s redemptive work but as active participants in cosmic worship through the Spirit’s intercession. By uniting the shared flesh of Christ with the Spirit’s transformative presence, the paper suggests a more integrated theological vision that includes all living beings in the divine narrative. This approach invites us to reconsider the role of animals within a broader ecological and theological framework, urging a reimagining of their spiritual capacities and their place in the eschatological hope for the renewal of all creation.

In this article, I argue that scholars of the field of New Testament theology need to be familiar with and listen to the various voices in the discourse of contemporary Christian spirituality in order to give voice to the ancient texts, as well as hear them in new ways. Based on Romans 8.18-30, I want to illustrate how the field of New Testament theology can contribute its voice to the contemporary (western) discussion on ecology, social justice, and power and at the same time enrich a spirituality of solidarity. For this purpose, I will contrast those voices within “pneumatological discourse” in Christian spirituality, which associates the work of the Spirit mainly with the improvement of one’s personal life, to Romans 8.18-30, a text central for Pauline pneumatology. I will argue that it represents a cosmic and eschatological outlook and fosters a Christian ethos of walking with the Spirit; taking side with a creation longing and groaning for redemption. This aspect has not received much attention, but is vital for a robust Christian spirituality, especially in regard to an ecological theology and a more nuanced understanding of power. Full article
