Aggiungi al carrelloSoftcover. Condizione: Like New. Reprint. A collection of nine interrelated essays that read the Hebrew Bible through an agrarian lens.Davis, Professor of Bible and Practical Theology at Duke Divinity School, argues that the biblical writers consistently display a deep concern for the health of arable land and the proper relatio…nship between humans, other creatures, and the soil. Agrarianism?defined as ?a way of thinking and ordering life in community that is based on the health of the land and of living creatures??is presented not as a modern method imposed on the text but as a pervasive perspective already present in the Scriptures themselves. The book places biblical texts in sustained conversation with contemporary agrarian writers (especially Wendell Berry, who contributes the foreword, along with Wes Jackson, Norman Wirzba, and others).Davis demonstrates that concern for soil health, sustainable food systems, and the moral character formed by how people treat the land runs throughout the Torah, Prophets, Writings, and poetry. The book has become a foundational text in ecological theology, food ethics, and agrarian biblical interpretation. It is valued for its careful exegesis, engagement with contemporary agrarian thought, and ability to speak both to scholars and to readers concerned with the environmental and social costs of modern agriculture.ABOUT THIS COPY: Softcover.
