“Environmental issue” in the Perspective of Theological Anthropology

Članak donosi temeljno teološko promišljanje o temi okoliša“ u kontekstu teološke antropologije. Nakon uvoda i sustavnog iznošenja ključnih teoloških doprinosa (J. Moltmann, Ch. Boureux) članak se dotiče nekih točaka koje nužno proizlaze iz teološkog promišljanja nauka o stvaranju u odnosu prema “pitanju okoliša”: ispitati odnos između čovjeka i stvorenoga svijeta (epistemološki obzor), na djelotvorniji se način usredotočiti na zamisao o stvaranju kao povijesnom i spasenjskom događaju (teološki obzor), ustrajati na pastoralnosti stvorenoga iz perspektive čovjeka (antropološki obzor), u žarište staviti zamisao o stvorenom svijetu kao daru i njegovu odnosu prema ljudskom zalaganju (kulturološki obzor), naglasiti etiku odgovornosti prema stvorenome svijetu (etičko-moralni obzor), vratiti smisao nedjeljnoga „počinka“ u kontekstu stvaranja (eshatološki obzor).The article introduces a fundamental theological reflection on the subject of “environment”, viewed in the context of theological anthropology. Following the introduction and systematic presentation of key theological contributions (J. Moltmann, Ch. Boureux), the article addresses some of the points that necessarily arise from theological reflection on the doctrine of creation in relation to the “environmental issue”: to examine the relationship between man and the created world (epistemological vision), to more effectively focus on the idea of creation as a historical and salvific event (theological vision), to insist on the pastoral nature of the created from the perspective of man (anthropological vision), to bring into focus the idea that the created world is a gift and its relation to human endeavour (cultural vision), to emphasize the ethics of responsibility towards the created world (ethical-moral vision), to regain the sense of Sunday “rest” in the context of creation (eschatological vision)
