Annotation
The main goal of the seminar is to introduce students to a concrete theological perspective on the relationship between humans and nature and to make available to them the basic ideas underlying environmentally oriented theology. In the seminar we will focus primarily on the book Imaging God: Dominion as Stewardship by Canadian theologian Douglas John Hall (1928-).
In this work, Hall systematically and engagingly answers questions that have not ceased to be the subject of debate and controversy: Is Christianity to blame for the environmental crisis? What does it mean to "subdue the earth"? What is the meaning of the biblical statement that human being was made in the image of God? Is stewardship the proper relationship to nature? The author's perspective will be complemented by selected chapters of the book Environmental Stewardship: Critical Perspectives, Past and Present, in which the topic of stewardship is examined from various angles - both critically and favorably.
