Environmentalist thought & ideology

"The ""Earth Bible"" is an international project, including volumes on ecojustice readings of major sections of the Bible. The basic aims of

the Earth Bible project are: to develop ecojustice principles appropriate to an Earth hermeneutic for interpreting the Bible and for

promoting justice and healing for Earth; to publish these interpretations as contributions to the current debate on ecology, ecoethics and ecotheology; to provide a responsible forum within which the suppressed voice of Earth may be heard and impulses for healing Earth may be generated. The project explores text and tradition from the perspective of Earth, employing a set of ecojustice principles

developed in consultation with ecologists, suspecting that the text and/or its interpreters may be anthropocentric and not geocentric, but searching to retrieve alternative traditions that hear the voice of Earth and value Earth as more than a human instrument. The lead article in Volume V is a reflection in responses to the ecojustice principles employed in the hermeneutic of the project. Several articles offer insights into New Testament texts that seem to devalue Earth in favour of heaven. The final article by Barbara Rossing challenges the popular apocalyptic notion that in the new age Earth will be terminated. A feature of this volume is a dialogue between Norman Habel, who argues that John One seems to devalue Earth, and two respondents, Elaine Wainwright and Vicky Balabanski (who is coeditor of this volume with Norman Habel). 1"

Reviews for The Earth Story in the New Testament: Volume 5

' ... a significant contribution to the field and is sure to be appreciated by classicists, social historians, literary critics, and those interested in gender issues in ancient Rome ... Specialists and undergraduate students alike will find much of the value in Engendering Rome and will gain many useful insights into the role of women and the construction of gender identity in Roman epic.' Bryn Mawr Classical Review '... will surely become a necessary handbook for all readers and teachers of Latin epic.' Phyllis B Katz, New England Classical Journal '... accessible to specialists and non-specialists alike ... well-articulated and certainly constitutes a valuable contribution to the field.' The Society for the Promotion of Roman Studies '... until now no single author has attempted in monograph form to provide an overview of the representation of women in Latin Epic. A. M. Keith's slim but thought-provoking monograph on the role of women in Roman epic poetry, published as part of the Cambridge University Press' series on 'Roman Literature and Its Contexts', is a timely and valuable contribution to the subject ... unique and important ... Anyone teaching or studying Roman epic and the role of women will need to consult it in the first instance.' Comptes Rendus
