Creation Spirituality is a socially conscious, earth-centered, unorthodox Christian spiritual system formulated in the 1970s by Matthew Fox, then a Catholic priest. Fox identifies Creation Spirituality in the Old and New Testament, ranging from the prologue to John's Gospel to the Book of Revelation. Creation Spirituality is also found in the teachings of the Greek fathers of the Church. The high point of the Creation Spirituality development was from the 12th to 15th centuries with the theories and practices of mystic-prophets such as: Hildegard of Bingen, Thomas Aquinas, Meister Eckhart, and Nicholas of Cusa.

Theologian and Episcopal priest Matthew Fox, formerly a Roman Catholic priest of the Dominican Order claims that revelation is found in two places: the Bible and nature. Therefore, the bulk of his teachings and texts lie in these two foundations. It is a mystical philosophy that celebrates the universe, emphasizes creativity as a key component of the universe, and believes that all people have a divine creative impulse. It espouses a panentheist view of God.

The history of the ideology of Creation Spirituality Fox says, "is the oldest tradition in the Bible, and the way of indigenous peoples." Fox contends that Creation Spirituality is not a new religion, but is concerned with renewing theologies and practices within religion and culture that promote personal wholeness, planetary survival, and universal interdependence.

Creation Spirituality begins with the notion of creation as an original blessing as opposed to original sin. For Fox sin results not so much from disobedience with God's laws as it does from disconnectedness to God's creation. He compares the seven traditional sins to seven principles of Creation Spirituality: cosmology, feminism, liberation, compassion, prophecy, creativity, and community.

Fox formulated his beliefs in several books, including The Coming of the Cosmic Christ and Original Blessing.
