The word of God for safeguarding creation: Bible-based reflections to reestablish the God–humanity–creation covenant

Abstract

This article presents a reflection from the Bible to reestablish the God–humanity–creation covenant. It is a hermeneutical exercise intended to motivate Biblical interpretation in an environmental key based in diverse texts of sacred scripture. The Word of God, his Revelation, is spoken in the midst of the crisis that we are going through. It is a matter of exhortation to return to our spiritual essence and first call: to be the image and likeness of God, caretakers and stewards of the patient and loving work of his hands. It is an invitation to the responsibility that we have as Church, to be prophets in a context of planetary death, and to the praxis that is incumbent upon us as Christians.
