生态神学发展嬗变的理论轨迹

生态神学体现出当代宗教思想家对生态危机的积极应对和明智思考,主张重新确认“上帝-人-自然”之间的关系,认同自然的神圣性,实现人与自然的友好共处。本文梳理了生态神学理论形成和流变的线索,着重论述了20世纪上半叶以来怀特海、施韦泽的生态神学理念,林恩.怀特、考夫曼对基督教神学传统的反思和批判,以及莫尔特曼的“三位一体创造论”、“创造的圣灵论”和“生态的安息日论”等理论。

Developmental Track of Ecological Theological Theory

Ecological theology reflects the positive response and sagacious thinking of contemporary religious thinkers to the ecological crisis. It advocates reconfirming the relationship of between God, human being, and the Nature, to approve of the holiness of natural world, and to realize the harmonious coexistence between human being and the Nature. The paper sorts out the clues of the formation and development of ecological theological theory. It places great stress on discussing the ecological theological ideas of A. H. Whitehead and A. Schweitzer, the rethinking and criticism of Lynn T. White and G. Kaufman on Christian traditional theology, and the theories about ＂the Trinity＇s Creation＂ , ＂the Holy Spirit in Creation＂ , and ＂ecological Sabbath＂ of J. Moltmann after the first half of the 20th century.
