This article is the
dissemination of the author’s
registered research theme
on ‘understanding reality’
and has formed the basis of
a paper read at the ECST XIV
Conference of the European
Society for the Study of
Science and Theology
(ESSSAT) on 25 April 2012
in Tartu (Estonia). |

dc.description.abstract |
The endeavour of this article is to arrive at a
theological responsible conception of life. Life cannot be described adequately only in terms
of body and soul (and/or spirit), or even in terms of human personhood. The point is that it is
constitutive for life to take the human being’s environment sociologically as well as ecologically
into account. This article does not plead for a nature religion as advocated by the Deep Green
Movement and all its variations of naturalism and supernaturalism, but asks for a revaluation
of a Christian anthropology which approaches the Bible with a green hermeneutics. Perhaps
the expression, ‘bio-cultural’ paradigm requests to be substituted with an eco-sociological
niche of the human person. An eco-sociological (eco-theological) understanding of homo
religiosus is therefore to assume human life as ontologically ‘distributed’. |
