The divine command given to a man (cf. Gen 1:26-28) has been a matterof concern in biblical scholarship for centuries. In the last decades, theologians and biblical scholars have tried to re-read this passage in view of the environmental crisis. This paper starts with an overview of the development of a new proposal – the ecological hermeneutics of the Bible. Particular paragraphs present results of the application of various ecological hermeneutical forms to the passage Gen 1:26-28: apologetic, radical and revisionist (neo-orthodox). The apologetic form perceives the text of the Bible as a friendly one to the environment and develops the idea of responsible human stewardship.It emphasizes the role of man as a custodian of creation. The radicalform, by contrast, perceives the same texts as infected anthropocentrically.The order of command over creation introduces enmity between man andnature that is disclosed through exploitation and injustice towards the earthfrom the part of humankind. Therefore, it proposes a reconstruction of thetext retrieving the voice of the earth. Representatives of a revisionist formclaim instead that the passage Gen 1:26-28 re-read in the context of Gen 1-9does not allow people to exploit the natural environment and it criticizespeoples’ behavior towards creation. The analysis shows that reading thedivine command of human dominion in Gen 1:26-28 in a hermeneuticallight considering the circumstances and specificity of the biblical text meansneither the justification of the degradation of the natural environment, northe refraining from gaining benefits from its natural resources.

In the discussions on the possible religious background of the current ecological crisis, the biblical text of Genesis 1:26–28 is the passage most often quoted by all sides of the debate. While for some it is an incentive to unlimited exploitation, and the resultant degradation of the natural environment, for others it carries a positive ecological message and a call for responsible care of the created world. Due to this ambiguity in interpretations, this article attempts to resolve whether the biblical text itself is problematic, and requires correction, or whether it is ecologically adequate, and it is the interpretations that have been thus far insufficient. Each of the three main currents of the ecological hermeneutics of the Bible (apologetic, radical, and neo-orthodox) offers its own specific answer to this question.

The aim of this article is to provide biblical scholars with a broad framework concerning the emerging field of “ecological hermeneutics” of the Bible, a very popular approach nowadays. This article examines whether it is only a temporarily fashionable phenomenon or a truly important trend for current and future research. There are presently three main streams of this interpretative approach, whose theoretical and methodological assumptions represent both different starting points and different objectives for biblical interpretation. The most popular, the apologetic form, often simplifies and distorts the meaning of the text and fails to provide credible answers to the modern reader. The radical form departs from hermeneutics and moves toward the deconstruction of the Bible and the reconstruction of a hypothetical biblical text. The neo-orthodox (revisionist) form is judged the most promising for the further development of ecological hermeneutics, as it allows exploration of the multitude of meanings of the biblical text and also of the traditions of its interpretation. It is a useful tool in the search for a better understanding of the proper relationship of man with the created world – the world in which he lives, is to be saved and which he is called to protect. It is hoped that the proposed study will help expand the research horizons of Polish exegesis.

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest dostarczenie biblistom szerokiego spojrzenia na perspektywy rozwoju ekologicznej hermeneutyki Biblii, która obecnie cieszy się ogromną popularnością. Artykuł zbada, czy jest to jedynie zjawisko krótkotrwałe, czy też stanowi ważny trent w aktualnych badaniach. Współcześnie wyróżniamy trzy główne nurty tego podejścia interpretacyjnego. Ich teoretyczne i metodologiczne założenia różnią się punktem wyjścia i proponowanymi rezultatami w biblijnej interpretacji. Najbardziej rozpowszechniona forma apologetyczna często upraszcza i deformuje znaczenie tekstu nie dając przez to wiarygodnej odpowiedzi na pytania współczesnego czytelnika. Forma radykalna odchodzi od hermeneutyki w stronę dekonstrukcji Biblii i rekonstrukcji nowego, hipotetycznego tekstu. Forma neoortodoksyjna rokuje najlepsze nadzieję na dalszy rozwój tego podejścia. Pozwala odkrywać bogactwo samego tekstu i tradycji jego interpretacji oraz poszukiwać w tekście podstaw lepszego rozumienia właściwej relacji człowieka ze stworzonym światem w którym żyje i ma zostać zbawiony. Pozostaje mieć nadzieję, że proponowane studium poszerzy horyzonty badawcze w polskiej egzegezie.
