Ecological Hermeneutics


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: Proposals are invited for two sessions: 1. The first session will have a special focus on the theme of Poverty, Ecology and the Bible. Proposals may consider the relationship between poverty as experienced by humans with ecological and environmental elements in the light of key biblical texts. 2. The second session is open and will consider proposals on any biblical text. For both sessions, we encourage proposals that have a strong methodological awareness, such as engaging with the principles of ecological hermeneneutics - suspicion, identification and retrieval (e.g., Habel and Trudinger, Exploring Ecological Hermeneutics, SBL 2008) and/or the methodology of the Exeter project (e.g., Horrell, Hunt and Southgate, Greening Paul, Baylor 2010). Proposals that include elements that link the biblical material with contemporary ecology and culture are welcomed.
