| Summary: | This paper is concerned with the impact of ecotheology on traditional concepts and perspectives. It notes the questions now being asked about the status of the bible and about sacramental perspectives on the world as a result of ecological issues. It looks at the implications of three significant Ecotheological concepts, namely, intrinsic value, connectedness, and sustainability. From this starting point it asks theologians to re-examine traditional areas of theological enquiry such as our understanding of the human person, christology, pneumatology, salvation, missiology, ecclesiology, and liturgies at the particular points where ecotheology impacts upon them. |
