About this event

Professor Catherine Hezser, Professor of Jewish Studies, SOAS

In the scriptural traditions of the three ‘Abrahamic’ religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, nature is created by God. Nature as divine creation and human beings’ use and maintenance of it have played an important role in these three religious traditions from ancient times until today, and it has impacted the theological and ethical thinking, and religious practice of these three monotheistic religions.

The webinar will investigate various aspects of Jewish, Christian, and Muslim attitudes toward the natural environment from antiquity to today.

This webinar is the second in a series on Nature and Ecology in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Here you can see the program for the first seminar in May 2020 and hear the presentations.
