| Summary: | The authors analyze the biblical roots of human responsibility for the earthly environment, and the forms of moral despoilment in the Bible that are later applied to environmental destruction. They then take the reader on an ecotheological journey of the Inner Planets Earth’s Moon and Mars. For each location, authors explore (1) the planetary science, (2) human adaptation to those conditions, and (3) the future roles of religion, theology, and ecotheology. Religions and theologies borrowed from earthly populations will play important roles in helping to manage human off-world settlements, and in providing hope, education, social constraints, and values for governance. |
