In this book, Mari Joerstad contributes to this effort by examining an ignored feature of the Hebrew Bible: its attribution of activity and affect to trees, fields, soil, and mountains. The Bible presents a social cosmos, in which humans are one kind of person among many. Using a combination of the tools of biblical studies and anthropological writings on animism, Joerstad traces the activity of non-animal nature through the canon. She shows how biblical writers go beyond sustainable development, asking us to be good neighbors to mountains and trees, and to be generous to our fields and vineyards. They envision human communities that are sources of joy to plants and animals. The Biblical writers' attention to inhabited spaces is particularly salient for contemporary environmental ethics in their insistence that our cities, suburbs, and villages contribute to flourishing landscapes. The first book to look at texts across the canon in which non-animal nature acts, displays emotion, or is addressed by God and/or humans. 630 00 $a Bible. $p Old Testament $x Criticism, interpretation, etc. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85013769 630 07 $a Bible. $p Old Testament. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01808092 650 0 $a Environmental ethics $x Biblical teaching. 650 0 $a Human ecology $x Christianity. $x Christianity. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008105868 650 0 $a Ecotheology. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008002852 650 7 $a Ecotheology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01745544 650 7 $a Human ecology $x Christianity. $x Christianity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00962969 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019021121.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DBCA43420C2C11EAA2E5F95597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
