• Can the bible function as a theological authority for eco-theology given its conflicting messages concerning the earth and humanity's relationship to it and in particular the deeply anthropocentric character of some passages? This article critically examines five approaches to the Bible that seek to affirm its theological authority while recognising its problematic character. It then proposes criteria for an alternative model.
