Concern for the earth and biblical faith have had an uneasyrelationship: ecological theologians have often cited biblical themesof dominion or "mastery" over the land as contributing to our presentenvironmental crisis. Walker-Jones explores Psalm genres and importantmetaphors in the Psalms for earth, the environment, and living things,while tracing their influence in contemporary culture, for example inrecent films. He shows that the Psalms, like the earth that is ourhome - can be dangerous but also provide wonderful resources for life.
