Among biblical scholars criticism of the Judaeo-Christian tradition for its part in the worsening crisis has led to a small but growing field of study on ecology and the Bible. This volume in the Oxford Handbook series makes a significant contribution to this burgeoning interest in ecological hermeneutics, incorporating the best of international scholarship on ecology and the Bible. The Handbook comprises 30 individual essays, from established scholars as well as up-and-coming ones, on a wide range of relevant topics. Arranged in four sections, the volume begins with a historical overview before tackling some key methodological issues. The second, substantial, section comprises thirteen essays offering detailed exegesis from an ecological perspective of selected biblical books.. This is followed by a section exploring broader thematic topics such as the Imago Dei and stewardship. Finally, the volume concludes with a number of essays on contemporary perspectives and applications, including political and ethical considerations. The editors, Hilary Marlow and Mark Harris, have drawn on a wealth of experience in Hebrew Bible and New Testament to bring together a diverse collection of essays on a subject of immense relevance. Its accessible style, comprehensive scope and range of material makes the volume a valuable resource not only to biblical scholars and students of the Bible, but also to religious leaders and practitioners"--  |c Provided by publisher.
