This book argues that in the Hebrew Bible, non-animal nature (trees, mountains, clouds, soil, waterways) is alive and able to interact with other creatures. The book is for scholars and lay readers interested in the Bible's contribution to environmental ethics and ancient Israelite understandings of nature.
1. Introduction; 2. Interacting with the world: 'new animism', metaphor theory, and personalistic nature texts; 3. A watchful world: personalistic nature texts in the Torah; 4. A sentient world: personalistic nature texts in the Prophets; 5. An articulate world: personalistic nature texts in the Writings; 6. Conclusion: befriending the world.
