Social Ecology, Ecojustice and the New Testament. Liberating Readings

Carlos Alberto Sintado (Editor)

Abstract

Our planet Earth is going through an unprecedented crisis. The current ecological predicament is such that has the potential to annihilate life. This dissertation reads selected New Testament texts, using the key tenets of Social Ecology and ecojustice as a basic hermeneutical framework. As witness of the story of God's good creation and of the pilgrimage of God's people, the Bible is providing a critical contribution to justice and peace and to the people's commitment to safeguard God's creation.
