The environmental crisis has prompted religious leaders and lay people to look to their traditions for resources to respond to environmental degradation. In this book, Mari Joerstad contributes to this effort by examining an ignored feature of the Hebrew Bible: its attribution of activity and affect to trees, fields, soil, and mountains. The Bible presents a social cosmos, in which humans are one kind of person among many. Using a combination of the tools of biblical studies and anthropological writings on animism, Joerstad traces the activity of non-animal nature through the canon. She shows how biblical writers go beyond sustainable development, asking us to be good neighbors to mountains and trees, and to be generous to our fields and vineyards. They envision human communities that are sources of joy to plants and animals. The Biblical writers' attention to inhabited spaces is particularly salient for contemporary environmental ethics in their insistence that our cities, suburbs, and villages contribute to flourishing landscapes.

Die Beiträger dieses Bandes bringen internationale und interdisziplinäre Perspektiven auf die Hebräische Bibel mit aktuellen Fragen der Umweltethik ins Gespräch. Sie setzen sich mit der seit Lynn White Jr. kontrovers diskutierten These auseinander, der zufolge die jüdisch-christliche Tradition eine zentrale Rolle im Anthropozentrismus der Moderne spiele, und untersuchen einschlägige biblische Texte unter Einbezug ökologischer Hermeneutik, kulturwissenschaftlicher Erinnerungstheorie und vergleichender Theologie.In drei thematischen Teilen - Memory Studies, Comparative Studies und Case Studies - analysieren sie Texte von Genesis bis zu den Propheten, beleuchten das Verhältnis zur altorientalischen, griechisch-römischen und frühchristlichen Umwelt und heben oft übersehene ökologische Motive hervor. Die Beiträger diskutieren unter anderem Bundeskonzepte, die die Erde mit einschließen, die Wirksamkeit nichtmenschlicher Akteure sowie Spannungsverhältnisse zwischen Schöpfung und Herrschaft. Neben theozentrischen und geozentrischen Deutungen werden auch animistische und posthumanistische Ansätze fruchtbar gemacht.Als Beitrag zur ökologischen Bibelhermeneutik wird aufgezeigt, wie altorientalische Vorstellungen von Natur und Verantwortung in die gegenwärtige Debatte um Nachhaltigkeit hineinwirken können.
