- Title
"Their Leaves Shall Be for Healing": Ecological Trauma and Recovery in Ezekiel 47:1–12.
- Authors
Copeland, Rebecca L.
- Abstract
In this article, I expand trauma hermeneutics to encompass ecological trauma, as well as human trauma. I then apply the resulting ecological trauma hermeneutics to Ezekiel in order to offer an alternative explanation of the causes and agents of the trauma suffered by the exiles in Babylon. To do so, I bring the description of the land east of Jerusalem into conversation with a modern example of soil salinization and apply ecological trauma hermeneutics to Ezekiel's vision in 47:1-12, identifying the necessary conditions for healing the ecological trauma of the land and fostering the future resilience of the human-land community.
