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. This is not a volume on ecotheology; but rather on ecological hermeneutics. Indeed, some essays may show where biblical texts, or particular approaches in the history of interpretation, represent anthropocentric or even anti-ecological moves. 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. 606 $aEnvironmental ethics 606 $aEnvironmental protection$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 606 $aHuman ecology$xBiblical teaching 606 $aHuman ecology$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnvironmental ethics. 615 0$aEnvironmental protection$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 615 0$aHuman ecology$xBiblical teaching. 615 0$aHuman ecology$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 676 $a261.88 701 $aHorrell$b David G$0973585 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459073103321 996 $aEcological hermeneutics$92233821 997 $aUNINA
