Concern for the earth and biblical faith have had an uneasy relationship: ecological theologians have often cited biblical themes of dominion or "mastery" over the land as contributing to our present environmental crisis. Walker-Jones explores Psalm genres and important metaphors in the Psalms for earth, the environment, and living things, while tracing their influence in contemporary culture, for example in recent films. He shows that the Psalms, like the earth that is our home — can be dangerous but also provide wonderful resources for life.
Let Earth Rejoice: Ecojustice in Hymns
“A deep reflection on the Psalms, one that compels the reader to see the creation as God’s handiwork and justice as our way in it.” Patrick D Miller, Professor of Old Testament Theology Emeritus, Princeton Theological Seminary
Arthur Walker-Jones is Associate Professor of Theology at the University of Winnipeg and co-chair of the Academic Teaching and Biblical Studies Section of the SBL.
