Readings from Perspective (Earth Bible (Sheffield))

de Habel

Many biblical texts are read for information about humans -- our relationships with each other and with God. What if the texts were read for clues about Earth in its struggle to be creation? This hermeneutic can be related to other recognized approaches to the Bible, from historical criticism to ecofeminist criticism. The Earth Bible Series provides fresh interpretations of the Bible. Scholars from diverse areas such as the Americas, South Africa, and South Australia focus on specific passages helping readers listen to and identify with the Earth as a presence and voice in the text.
