Deborah Guess’s main research area is the issues raised for Church and theology by contemporary questions of ecology. Deborah has specifically focused on thinkers Sallie McFague, Charles Birch, and Thomas Berry, on Christology (especially the Incarnation), and on Anglican thinkers Arthur Peacocke, Norman Pittenger and William Temple. She has also been involved with a project exploring the topic of a just and ecologically sustainable peace. Current and future research is focussed on the theology of place in relation to ecology, and the treatment of the natural world in the Christian contemplative tradition.
