Beschreibung
This book argues that in the Hebrew Bible, non-animal nature (trees, mountains, clouds, soil, waterways) is alive and able to interact with other creatures. The book is for scholars and lay readers interested in the Bible's contribution to environmental ethics and ancient Israelite understandings of nature.
