This volume brings together a collection of work from Africa to consider how New Testament ethics can speak to the philosophical reflections on African environmental issues. In conceptualising the ethics of the New Testament, it outlines the theological bases which the great legacies of Jesus and Paul derived their ethics from. Exploring a broad range of moral concerns, this work identifies unity that underlies ethical teachings. Critiquing secular ethical perspectives such as deontological ethics and utilitarianism, and its insufficiency to address African environmental problems, the work offers a New Testament ethic, which tries to transcend the limitations of secular theories and help Africa from said environmental problems. Tobias Marevesa is a Senior lecturer in New Testament in the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies, under the faculty of Arts at the Great Zimbabwe University where he teaches New Testament Studies and New Testament Greek. He holds a PhD from the University of Pretoria in South Africa. Dr. Tobias Marevesa is a post-doctoral fellow at the University of KwaZulu Natal. He is also a Research Fellow at the Research Institute for Theology and Religion (RITR) in the College of Human Sciences University of South Africa (UNISA). His areas of interest are New Testament studies and politics, decoloniality, Pentecostal expressions in Zimbabwean Christianity, gender-based violence, the COVID-19 pandemic and New Testament studies and conflict resolution in the Zimbabwean political landscape.
