Clough School of Theology and Ministry
This course explores biblical perspectives on animals and the earth, reading in light of contemporary conversations about ecological crises and ecological justice. Topics to be studied include care for animals and the earth, perspectives on nonhuman creation, use of animals as food, and mourning animals and the earth. Pope Francis Laudato si will be read alongside Scripture to consider ways that theology can motivate and inspire care for creation. In addition, this course examines how ecology and the Bible have been critically studied in biblical scholarship, drawing insights from ecological hermeneutics and ecowomanist and ecofeminist scholars.
