This article seeks to achieve three goals: first, it reflects on the hermeneutical issues involved in bringing the Bible into the current ethical discourse surrounding the climate crisis. Second, it seeks a dialogue with existing English-language concepts of so-called 'eco-hermeneutics'. Finally, special attention will be paid to New Testament texts that are often over-looked in the debate (in comparison with OT texts). Using the Gospel of John as an example, we explain how the language of the Gospel (particularly metaphors and narratives such as life, works, and garden) forms an implicit, aesthetic ethics that can be perceived as a voice of its own in contemporary discourse.
