Abstract

NCHE, George C.; OKWUOSA, Lawrence N.  and  NWEZE, Stanley N.. Preparing them from home: A discourse on Christian parental responsibility towards ecological crisis. Herv. teol. stud. [online]. 2017, vol.73, n.3, pp.1-6. ISSN 2072-8050.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/hts.v73i3.4729.

Few studies have discussed the roles of parents towards addressing ecological crisis. Yet, discourses on these roles have always been approached from a secular perspective. To this end, this paper critically discusses the roles of parents towards ecological crisis from the Christian or biblical perspective of their responsibilities towards their children. Using a hermeneutic phenomenological method of analysis, the article argues that ecological disasters of tomorrow could be prevented today through effective ecologically centred Christian parenting.
