Many ways of thinking about and living with 'the environment' have
their roots in the Bible and the Christian cultural tradition.
Environmental Humanities and Theologies shows that some of these
ways are problematic. It also provides alternative ways that value
both materiality and spirituality. Beginning with an
environmentally friendly reading of the biblical story of creation,
Environmental Humanities and Theologies goes on to discuss in
succeeding chapters the environmental theology of wetlands, dragons
and watery monsters (including crocodiles and alligators) in the
Bible and literature. It then gives a critical reading of the
environmental theology of the biblical book of Psalms. Theological
concepts are found in the works of English writers of detective and
devotional stories and novels, American nature writers and European
Jewish writers (as succeeding chapters show). Environmental
Humanities and Theologies concludes with an appreciation for
Australian Aboriginal spirituality in the swamp serpent. It argues
for the sacrality of marsh monsters and swamp serpents as figures
of reverence and respect for living bio- and psycho-symbiotic
livelihoods in bioregions of the living earth in the Symbiocene.
This is the hoped-for age superseding the Anthropocene.
Environmental Humanities and Theologies is aimed at those who have
little or no knowledge of how theology underlies much thinking and
writing about 'the environment' and who are looking for ways of
thinking about, being and living with the earth that respect and
value both spirituality and materiality. It is a new text nurturing
sacrality for the Symbiocene.
