Abstract
This article examines the role of Prophetic tradition and religious preaching in confronting environmental crises. Inspired by the approach of “practical theology” and through an analysis of the works of Paul Ballard and the Earth Bible group, it demonstrates that the application of sacred texts can integrate environmental ethics into religious sermons. Religious preaching, when accompanied by figurative language and evocative vocabulary, not only reflects the epistemic dimensions of revelation but also transforms into prophetic activism—an activism that, through protest, lamentation, and repentance against the colonization of nature and climate inequality, revives the voice of responsibility and empathy in today’s world.
