ABSTRACT

Over the past few years, COVID-19 has triggered a rethinking of our relation- ship with humans, animals, and nature. In addition to the fact that epidemics like this can spread at any time, the destruction of ecosystems and climate crisis require reflection on anthropocentric values and a new introspection on the relationship between humans, animals, and the environment. In the unprecedented challenges of not only COVID-19 but also the climate emergency, there is a need to redefine ecological theology based on the newly revealed reflection and critical mind of COVID-19. From a theological perspective, there is a need to re- examine the responsibility for the stewardship of Genesis, which is “subdual and dominion” in the tradition of Christian faith. We must open a new Christian ethical paradigm with awareness of the serious harm that anthropocentrism can bring. This study looked at Christian ecological ethics in the post-COVID-19 era, focusing on the concept of Imago-Dei (God’s image) and One Health in Genesis.
