Cosmologies and socio-political-religious structures in Egypt, Mesopotamia and Israel
An ecological reading of Genesis 1-6 and 2 Samuel 24
Abstract
This article explores the ideological relationship between the socio-political and religious structures and the production and legitimation of cosmology in ancient Egypt, Babylon and Israel. From this relationship the article elaborates how ancient cosmologies and social structures - as they appear in the Old Testament – can be examples to denounce the current climatic chaos as the product of unjust socio-economic and political systems.
