Abstract: Since the writings of Lynn White and Carl Amery in the 1960s and 1970s, the question of Christianity’s responsibility for the ecological crisis has been a classic debate in ecological philosophy and theology. In order to overcome the binarism of a Judeo-Christianity that has been guilty or, on the contrary, ecologically-minded since its birth, isn’t it necessary to historicise and pluralise the links between ecology and spirituality? To this end, the old concept of “theologem” is revisited here.
