The "Earth Bible" is an international project, including volumes on
ecojustice readings of major sections of the Bible. The basic aims
of the Earth Bible project are: to develop ecojustice principles
appropriate to an Earth hermeneutic for interpreting the Bible and
for promoting justice and healing for Earth; to publish these
interpretations as contributions to the current debate on ecology,
ecoethics and ecotheology; to provide a responsible forum within
which the suppressed voice of Earth may be heard and impulses for
healing Earth may be generated. The project explores text and
tradition from the perspective of Earth, employing a set of
ecojustice principles developed in consultation with ecologists,
suspecting that the text and/or its interpreters may be
anthropocentric and not geocentric, but searching to retrieve
alternative traditions that hear the voice of Earth and value Earth
as more than a human instrument. The lead article in Volume V is a
reflection in responses to the ecojustice principles employed in
the hermeneutic of the project. Several articles offer insights
into New Testament texts that seem to devalue Earth in favour of
heaven. The final article by Barbara Rossing challenges the popular
apocalyptic notion that in the new age Earth will be terminated. A
feature of this volume is a dialogue between Norman Habel, who
argues that John One seems to devalue Earth, and two respondents,
Elaine Wainwright and Vicky Balabanski (who is coeditor of this
volume with Norman Habel). 1
