TMST 8150 Ecotheology

Ecotheology has been developed in the last decades as a theological response to the climate crisis that we are facing in the world today. Ecotheology has two goals. First, it is a critique of the cultural concepts, images, and practices that are at the bottom of the climate crisis. Second, it is both a retrieval of the ecological dimension of Christian faith, and an interpretation of theological sources (such as the Bible and Tradition) and doctrines (such as Trinity, Creation, and Salvation) from the perspective of Ecology. In this seminar course, students will explore different aspects of Ecotheology.
