| Summary: | It is extremely rare that a paper on the relationship between religion and nature does not refer to the White's famous essay "The Historical Roots of our Ecologic Crisis" (1967). The intentions of White's paper were truly 'programmatic' in suggesting reforms in Christian theology. The argument of this paper is to emphasize that the historian was calling for a reform of Christianity through his essay, highlighting its responsibility for the environmental crisis. In order to support this argument, we will rely on two other later papers, in addition to the 1967 essay. We will note that White's attempt to inspire Christian theology was intended to influence Western values on ecology. Ironically, he did manage to participate in a movement to reform theology, but secularization has since knocked on the door of the Western world, negating the potential for theology to disseminate fundamental values for society. |
