Özet:
My dissertation joins an ongoing conversation about the interpretation of biblical texts in contemporary ethical discourse. It explores this broad topic through a focus on the Bible and Environmental Ethics, more specifically on the literature on Genesis 1 and the Image of God. I argue that Genesis 1 should not be interpreted as a standalone text, but rather should be seen as part of the larger body of work of the Priestly School. To make this argument I rely on the work of Hans Jonas and Holmes Rolston, both of whom wrote extensively on religious texts early in their careers. Like my reunification of Genesis 1 with a larger part of the Priestly School, I read the environmental work of Jonas and Rolston in the context of their work on religion. As a result, I situate Genesis 1 (Image of God) within the thought world of the book of Leviticus, which offers ritual and ethical guidance on human action in the natural environment. I support this reading not only by engagement with biblical studies literature, but also with a hermeneutic developed from critical readings of Jonas and Rolston. This hermeneutic includes an emphasis on process and building an empathetic imagination.
