Eco-dogmatics of the Encyclical Laudato si’

Bogdan Ferdek



Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to systematize eco-theological themes of encyclical Laudato si’ and to show their ecumenical aspect. A result of systematizing of the eco-theological themes of encyclical Laudato si’ will be eco-dogmatics, i.e. a reflection on doctrinal bases of ecology included in Revelation. The eco-dogmatics understood in this way will be presented in the key of salvation history. Activity of God in the history of salvation shows analogy to ancient drama, whose action included three fundamental parts: tying, culminating point and untying. The eco-dogmatics is a subject of interest of theologians belonging to different Christian Churches and Communities. Jürgen Moltmann is one of them. Between Eco-dogmatic themes included in Laudato si’ and eco-dogmatics of Moltmann there is ecumenical consonance. After all, they are written into ecumenical Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed. The basis of this Credo is truth on the Creator God of heaven and earth who by incarnation, death and resurrection of his Son leads all creations to everlasting life in future world. This is underlined by the fact that eco-dogmatic themes included in Laudato si’ and eco-dogmatics of Moltmann form the ecumenical dogmatics. Its essence is presenting all creations in their multiple relations with taking into consideration relation to God as a base. Such ecumenical eco-dogmatics is an answer for challenge which for theology is the ecological crisis.
