Description
(Text)
The contributors to this edited volume explore creation concepts in antiquity and aspects of creation care in Jewish and Christian texts. They also ask about how these texts and topics are relevant to today's earth ethics and in particular to the climate crisis. After reflecting on how the concepts of creation, nature, and cosmos relate to each other, the focus is initially on Jewish writings, which previous research on creation has barely considered. Moreover, central canonical Christian texts and early Syrian traditions are examined. The ethical-hermeneutical section addresses how New Testament studies approach the topic of creation in current debates on the subject. The bridges to today include the reception of biblical creation motifs in film, an exemplary "Earth Bible reading" of the Apocalypse of John, and a public theological look at the question of responsibility for creation and sustainability.
