Reviews for Reading the Bible amid the Environmental Crisis: Interdisciplinary Insights to Ecological Hermeneutics

In this expertly-crafted volume, Sébastien Doane reads the Bible in light of the urgent ecological issues of our day. Exploring diverse texts from the Old and New Testaments, he offers interpretations which are innovative, thought-provoking, and compelling. He draws on wide-ranging theorists in accessible and creative ways, gently drawing his readers beyond traditional and stale interpretive practices into new ways of thinking and reading ecologically. Furthermore, Doane remains aware of the transformative power of reading and never neglects the imperative - in our time of climate crisis - to move from text to action. --Suzanna Millar, University of Edinburgh Ground-breaking, thought-provoking, stirring, and magnificently well-read. This book gushes with life, connecting landscapes, living beings, and natural forces, with the divine enmeshed in Scripture. Doane explores concrete new ways of reading the Bible that may refresh and reroute our commitments in the midst of environmental disaster and denial of it. Pioneering inspirational work! --Rodolfo Felices Luna, Oblate School of Theology
