Ecotheology: A New Approach

The ecological question constitutes a significant field of interest for theology today. This book is an attempt to show the achievements of theology to date in relation to ecology. The analyses are carried out in four chapters. The first shows the genesis of ecotheology as well as the validity of its construction as a valuable contribution to a transdisciplinary vision of ecology. The second chapter is a historical-theological synthesis, showing the development of ecological issues in the teaching of the Church. The third chapter is an attempt to provide an eco-dogmatic synthesis of ecotheological issues, focusing on the problems of creatology, christology and eschatology. These eco-dogmatic issues have their practical implications in the issues of the fourth chapter, which attempts to show concrete postulates for the construction of Christian ecological praxis, as well as to draw attention to possible dangers.
