Ecological Hermeneutics reflects critically on the kinds of appeal to the Bible that have been made in environmental ethics and eco-theology; engages with biblical texts with a view towards exploring their contribution to an ecological ethics; and explores the kind of hermeneutic necessary for such engagement to be fruitful for contemporary theology and ethics. Crucial to such broad reflection is the bringing together of a range of perspectives: biblical studies, historical theology, hermeneutics, and theological ethics.
The thematic coherence of the book is provided by the running focus on the ways in which biblical texts have been, or might be, read. One of the overall aims of the book will be to suggest how, and why, an ecological hermeneutic might be developed, and the kinds of interpretive choices that are required in such a development.
