Abstract
This session looks at the history of theological environmental ethics. The students become sensitive towards opportunities and tensions within either an anthropocentric or physiocentric worldview. They perceive the impact of individual biblical texts in the history of Christianity and their negative consequences. Working with biblical texts enables them to form an opinion from their own worldview.
