ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY
Keywords:
Ecological Care, Ecological Crisis, Christian Theology, Human and NatureAbstract
Religious ecological care has emerged as an important aspect in the development of contemporary deep ecology and religious moral ethics and social care, challenging different religious traditions. Some religious thinkers try to re-examine, interpret and transform their religious traditions in order to better face the challenges of the ecological crisis. It istrue that ethics and beliefs define the way humans process, interpret, understand, and find solutions for the hard questions of existence and life. In this context, the way humans approach and search for possible solutions to the hard-to-answer questions of ecological problems gains significant pertinence. This article investigates the ecological interface Christian religion as an example and uses deep ecology and similar views to explore the Christian perspective in the context of a new relationship between human and nature. In today’s world, where human beings as a society are moving towards realizing the Sustainable Development Goals, religious ecological care takes prominence to understand the way human ethical values and beliefs affect the way we approach problems as serious as the ecological crisis, and to observe the concatenation between the People and Planet aspects of the Sustainable Development Goals.
