Call For Papers: Peripheral Voices on Bible and Ecology The articulation of major trends on the development of hermeneutical approaches and methodologies has been the focus of the preliminary workshop on ecological hermeneutics. The focus of the first year will be on critical and peripheral theological readings of the biblical texts and on critical voices on environmental issues deriving either from non-European contexts or from other areas of environmental ethics in order to enrich the discussion with their voices. One of the main questions that this session will attempt to address is the possible gain for biblical studies from the new insights that these other aspects can offer and vice versa, whether and how the biblical text could contribute to an ethos of sustainability and respect of the environment particularly for those who are more vulnerable to the effects of climate change. For 2017, there will be a session with invited speakers and an open call for papers.
