Abstract

In this essay, I examine how the book of Ezekiel has been employed or criticized as a resource for environmental ethics, and I explore the hermeneutical strategies behind these efforts. To do this, I make use of David Horrell’s critique and taxonomy of how the Bible has been used to inform attitudes about the environment. I conclude by arguing that while the book of Ezekiel is not as ecologically dangerous as some readers have claimed, neither can it function on its own as a useful tool for constructing an environmental ethic. However, reading Ezekiel as part of a metanarrative generated by a larger scriptural corpus may render its imagery useful as a resource.

《以西结书》:环境伦理的助力还是阻碍?
在这篇文章中,我考察了以西结书是如何被用作或批评为环境伦理学的资源的,并探讨了这些努力背后的解释学策略。为了做到这一点,我利用了大卫·霍雷尔对《圣经》如何被用来告知人们对环境的态度的批评和分类。最后,我认为,虽然以西结书并不像一些读者所说的那样具有生态危险性,但它本身也不能作为构建环境伦理的有用工具。然而,将《以西结书》作为由更大的圣经语料库生成的元叙事的一部分来阅读,可能会使其图像成为有用的资源。
