Description
Summary:Reading biblical texts ecologically is an emerging feature of contemporary biblical studies. This article recognizes this brief history but rather than situating a proposed reading strategy within such a history, it places it within an epistemological shift to ecological thinking. Drawing on the work of Lorraine Code, using the key analytic category of habitat, and nuancing the socio-rhetorical approach of Vernon Robbins enables a unique way of reading ecologically to be developed. This reading strategy is employed in reading Matt 2:1-12 ecologically.
