Perspectives on Nature and Environmental Ethics in the Hebrew Bible
Die Beiträger dieses Bandes bringen internationale und interdisziplinäre Perspektiven auf die Hebräische Bibel mit aktuellen Fragen der Umweltethik ins Gespräch. Sie setzen sich mit der seit Lynn White Jr. kontrovers diskutierten These auseinander, der zufolge die jüdisch-christliche Tradition eine zentrale Rolle im Anthropozentrismus der Moderne spiele, und untersuchen einschlägige biblische Texte unter Einbezug ökologischer Hermeneutik, kulturw…

Water And The Places It Collects
Biblical Hebrew has a rich vocabulary for clouds, rain, rivers, wadis, springs, wells, and cisterns, and this vocabulary indicates something of how ancient Israelites related to water. Water in all its forms was understood as a gift from God, especially when seasonal rain arrived according to expectation. Disruptions to the normal seasons were usually interpreted as a sign of judgment. By naming various forms of water and their divine origin, hum…

Brief Account of Animism in Biblical Studies
The study of animism influenced early to mid-twentieth-century biblical scholars, especially on the topic of how ancient Israelites related to nature. Since then, biblical studies have paid less attention to animism, though assumptions about what animism is and how it relates to monotheism continue to shape discussions about nature in the Hebrew Bible. However, since attention to animism has been scant in recent biblical scholarship, these assump…
The Hebrew Bible and Environmental Ethics: Humans, NonHumans, and the Living Landscape
The environmental crisis has prompted religious leaders and lay people to look to their traditions for resources to respond to environmental degradation. In this book, Mari Joerstad contributes to this effort by examining an ignored feature of the Hebrew Bible: its attribution of activity and affect to trees, fields, soil, and mountains. The Bible presents a social cosmos, in which humans are one kind of person among many. Using a combination of …
As for you, do not pray on behalf of this people: Intercession, deception and shalom in the book of Jeremiah
A unique feature of the book of Jeremiah is God's thrice repeated ban on intercession. In 7.16, 11.14 and 14.11, God forbids Jeremiah to pray on behalf of the people. In this article I explore how the ban on intercession connects with the Jeremian themes of falsehood and shalom. I argue that Jeremiah is not allowed to pray for the people because he must identify with God's point of view. Intercession only becomes meaningful in Jeremiah as a means…
