AB In this article, the author argues that Friedrich Schleiermacher’s Christian Faith offers useful theological resources for ecofeminists and all those concerned with establishing ecological economics. His notion of the Naturzusammenhang, or the interconnected process of nature, is significant for imagining the proper place of the human economy within the planet’s economy. However, for his theology to be an unambiguous resource for ecological living, his claims regarding the Christian community becoming total and his appeal to an afterlife as the mechanism for that totalization need revision. The author constructs a Schleiermacherian revision of his work by further emphasizing the interconnectivity of humanity and retaining the epistemic limits that Schleiermacher himself has put in place.
