Beschreibung

<p>The contributors to this volume explore how the Hebrew Bible can inform contemporary ecological thought. In response to Lynn White Jr.'s 1967 thesis - accusing the Judeo-Christian tradition of fostering environmental degradation - they analyze key biblical texts through ecological hermeneutics, posthumanist theory, and comparative theology.<br> <br><br> Organized into three parts - Memory Studies, Comparative Studies, and Case Studies - the volume brings together perspectives from biblical studies, environmental theology, classical philosophy, and cultural memory theory. The contributors engage with texts from Genesis to the Prophets and post-exilic literature, drawing connections to Greco-Roman, Mesopotamian, and early Christian thought.<br> <br><br> They investigate diverse hermeneutical frameworks, including theocentric and geocentric interpretations, and highlight themes such as the agency of non-human creation, covenantal models involving the Earth, and poetic visions of ecological justice. These analyses reveal that the Hebrew Bible contains complex, and at times contradictory, portrayals of the human-nature relationship.<br> <br><br> The contributors to this volume advance ecological biblical interpretation and demonstrate how ancient texts can shape ethical discourses on sustainability, justice, and environmental responsibility today.</p>
