Pistas para renovar la antropología teológica desde una ecología integral

Abstract

How Christianity understands human beings in their relationship with nature is a crucial question within the context of the current ecological crisis. Therefore, this Lectio inauguralis offers a threefold perspective to renovate theological anthropology from the viewpoint of an integral ecology: human beings a) aware of the crisis and their responsibility in it; b) attentive to the community of creation which goes beyond their own species; and c) able to retrieve the true meaning of asceticism and embody new habits. Without any claim to be exhaustive, these three anthropological clues can foster the discernment and search for new theological narratives that allow us to move decisively towards a culture of caring for our common home.
