Abstract
For several decades, Lutheran theologians have wrestled with the issue of the climate crisis. This has resulted in a body of scholarship that utilizes Christological frameworks to articulate agential constructs. While recognizing such contributions as inherently valuable and highly significant, this article suggests that Lutheran eco-theological research would do well to complement its Christological findings with Pneumatological considerations. Given the problem of anthropocentrism as a key driver of our current, rather troubling, reality, this article argues that Pneumatological considerations are essential in exploring alternative possibilities for the reconceptualization of human agency within Lutheran theological frameworks.
