Ecotheology in the Humanities explores the connections between biblical, literary, film, and music studies through the poetry of Wendell Berry and Sherman Alexie, the cosmologies of J. R. R. Tolkien and Boethius, and the literary works of C. S. Lewis, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and Darren Aronofsky's film Noah.
This book is a collection of essays about the interaction between God, humans, and nature in the context of the environmental challenges and Biblical studies. Chapters include topics on creation care and Sabbath, sacramental approaches to earth care, classical and medieval cosmologies, ecotheodicy, how we understand the problem of nonhuman suffering in a world controlled by a good God, ecojustice, and how humans help to alleviate nonhuman suffering. The book seeks to provide a way to understand Judeo-Christian perspectives on human-to-nonhuman interaction through Biblical, literary, cultural, film, and music studies, and as such, offers an interdisciplinary approach with emphasis on the humanities, which provides a broader platform for ecotheology.
