Since the second half of the twentieth century, Judeo-Christianity has been criticized for being one of the main triggers for the modern ecological crisis. Hence, there has been an increasing interest in examining the relationship of Scripture, Church Fathers and contemporary Roman Catholic, Protestant, and Eastern Orthodox traditions to ecological issues facing contemporary society. In this course, we will discuss theories and perspectives from the biblical and theological traditions, with a special focus on the patristic and neopatristic sources, in order to build a dialogue with modern ecological issues and seek their resolution.
