Such nature commands appropriate respect. Both theism and ecology find a dynamic, enduring Earth and face concerns about environmental sustainability. Monotheists claim that persons must use the Earth both justly and charitably. Loving the land is a central theme of the Hebrew Bible. The fauna is included within the covenant, Humans have dominion, are trustees, stewards--environmental managers. Anciently Palestine was a promised land. Today ecotheologians call for peoples globally to see Earth as a planet with promise.born digitalchapters (layout features)eng©2013 Routledge.Copyright and other restrictions may apply.
