| Summary: | All indicators are that our planet is currently facing an environmental crisis of unprecedented proportions. The effects may be mapped in every avenue of human existence from food supply and water quality to decimated landscapes and species extinction. Terms such as sustainable agriculture, environmental terrorism, and factory farming have moved into everyday parlance. Does religion and specifically Christianity have a role in shaping a response to this crisis? Is there an ecotheology to be found in the Bible, and how might the community of faith go about applying that biblical paradigm to current issues? This essay attempts to begin to answer these questions by mapping a relationship between the wisdom of the ancients and a current course of action for the Church with particular emphasis on stewardship, Sabbath, and action. |
