ECOTHEOLOGICAL GUIDELINES: THE THEOLOGY IN FAVOR OF LIFE

Abstract

Scientists and qualified institutions report that sea levels are undergoing ‘unprecedented changes’ due to the influence of global warming and the environmental crisis in the 21st century, which coudl result in dangerous consequences. Chardin, the apostle of cosmic Christianity, alreafy portrayed in his vision of hyperphysics that everything: particles, galaxies, plants, animals and man is a single dynamic whole in evolution that will culminate at the Omega Point. The Church and Ecotheology guide us towards a sacred reinterpretation in favor of life, visualizing the Father in his creations and capturing the ‘signs of the times’. The objective of the article was: to identify escotheological orientations in favor of life. For this construct, the methodology adopted a qualitative approach, an exploratory profile with bibliographic research inspired by Holy Scripture, articles, theses, dissertations, books, Catholic and Protestant catechisms. The was an increase in ecotheological publications, the importance of life in cosmic Christology, and the relevant role of churches in raising awareness and changing behaviors to curb environmental imbalances. The capitalist and exploitative anthropocentric model needs to be replaced by sustainable development so that man, as part of the cosmic Christ, does not destroy nature and himself.
