Concepțiile religiei creștine cu privire la raportul dintre om și natură [Articol]

Abstract

This article reflects the main views of the Christian religion regarding the relationship between Men and Nature. The authors examine the most important postulates of the Bible that refer to the interaction between them, which demonstrate the fact that in Christianity, from its origins, there exists an orientation towards the protection of nature and a harmonious coexistence of men and nature. Particular attention is paid to the opinion according to which the Christian doctrine is the cause of the degradation of nature, formulated by the American historian L. White. In conclusion, it is noted that the Christian doctrine is quite well oriented from an ecological point of view, and currently both its ministers, theologians and philosophers preach the positive aptitude of the Christian religion in ensuring the protection of the environment and through this, Christianity contributes to the survival of human civilization in conditions of the global crisis.
