This multi-disciplinary volume brings together the voices of
biblical scholars, classicists, philosophers, theologians and
political theorists to explore how ecology and theology intersected
in ancient thinking, both pagan, Jewish and Christian. Ecological
awareness is by no means purely a modern phenomenon. Of course,
melting icecaps and plastic bag charges were of no concern in
antiquity: frequently what made examining your relationship with
the natural world urgent was the light this shed on human
relationships with the divine. For, in the ancient world, to think
about ecology was also to think about theology. This ancient
eco-theological thinking - whilst in many ways worlds apart from
our own environmental concerns - has also had a surprisingly rich
impact on modern responses to our ecological crisis. As such, the
voices gathered in this volume also reflect on whether and how
these ancient ideas could inform modern responses to our
environment and its pressing challenges. Through multi-disciplinary
conversation this volume offers a new and dynamic exploration of
the intersection of ecology and theology in ancient thinking, and
its living legacy.
