Abstract

Some groups of ecologists believe that the Christianity doesn’t have anything to speak about environmental because have one conception anthropocentric. In this way, some theologies recommend a new consideration of Christianity to overcome the anthropocentrism. We put the question if the approach with the nature must be the refusal of anthropocentrism or of one specific form of understanding of the same. The base of our study does reference to the indications of Lynn White Junior that consider responsible of degradation environmental to the Christianity’s conception anthropocentric of Mead Age and to the Revolution Industrial.
