Reading Green: Tactical Considerations for Reading the Bible
Ecologically operates on the premise that the Bible itself does not
directly address the current ecological crisis and that expecting
it to do so is anachronistic, for there was no ecological crisis on
the agendas of biblical authors as they penned their works. The
true challenge in the field is engaging biblical texts that do not
present a positive ecological message (e.g., the stories of the
flood and the plagues), or that seem to focus their messages so
narrowly on human subjects and their interests that they
marginalize or ignore the concerns of the other-than-human
creation. To address this issue, this book provides a series of
reading strategies which begin with the current ecological crisis.
Present areas of interest, such as environmental racism and
justice, film criticism, and reception history and exegesis, are
employed to construct various approaches to mine the Bible for its
contribution in addressing the current ecological crisis.
