Course Description

This course investigates our current ecological crisis in the light of a biblically informed Christian ethic. It is equally a study in a Christian ethical interpretation of Scripture in the light of our current ecological crisis. A case study approach helps to ground a short introduction to ecology as well as a study of various models for a Christian ethic of creation care. The focus is on a critical theological reflection on praxis in a pluralistic world of many faiths and none at all, but in which we share a common, growing crisis.
