摘要
This essay expands upon the ecological implications of Julian's theology by arguing that her parable of the lord and servant exemplifies the call in Genesis 2:15 to cultivate and tend to Earth and all fleshly creatures. In con-- versation with present-day ecological theologies, I contend that Julian's example re-presents Genesis's theological claim that love of God is embodied by care for Earth and neighbor. When human persons are inhibited from laboring in the garden, they suffer from isolation and fall prey to despair. Julian's Revelation offers a spiritual resource to motivate ecological conversion, as Pope Francis urges in Laudato Si'. .
