On the Issue of “Green Theology”

A Spiritual Turn toward Creation through the Mysticism of Dorothee Sölle

Summary/Abstract: The issue of ecological theological discourses has been neglected and abandoned for a long time by the end of the theological spectrum, which resulted in the topic of Chris¬tian faith as a co perpetrator in the context of the current ecological crisis. It is above all an anthropocentric turn in Christian faith and the interpretation of the Biblical myth of creation that has been identified as a reason which has led to the spread of ecological disaster and despotic dominance of man over nature. The theological discourse in the 1980s, however, strongly reinforced the idea of ecology, which is related to an increasingly urgent ecological state. The theological space begins to apply, in particular through the ideas of the Evangelical Jürgen Moltmann, a certain turn to creation, where, along with the accenting task of the Kingdom, the relation at the level of man nature is brought to the attention of man as a creation. Turning towards creation along with responsibility for the veil was a change in the paradigm of theological thinking that opened up space for the accentuation of Matthew Fox‘s “living cosmology” and, in particular, the “mystique of defiance” of the Protestant theologian Dorothee Sölle. It is precisely the ideas of “ecotheology” or “green theology” that center on creation in its divine unity, Dorothee Sölle considers the basis for consistently accentuating relations and reciprocity in the context of creation where the essential aspect is active participation and responsibility for connivance which God has entrusted to humanity.
