520 |a In the context of ever-worsening environmental degradation, scientists as well as religious leaders increasingly recognise the role of moral and spiritual values as drivers of people’s behaviour, and have drawn attention to the role of religion in moderating and transforming community attitudes towards nature. But the Western Christian tradition has come under criticism for legitimising the exploitative use of earth’s resources, based on an exclusive focus on Genesis 1 and misleading interpretations of it. This article explores a number of ways in which the Hebrew Bible can support a robust environmental theology and praxis. Drawing on Psalm 104 it identifies five big ideas that move between theological insights and ethical imperatives, highlighting the close connection between beliefs and values. Rather than propose a comprehensive biblical justification for environmental action, the paper offers some observations and reflections from the texts that will provoke discussion and thought, and ultimately lead to action.
