With the exception of a few foundational essays by Hugh Nibley, it was not until the late nineties when formal theological treatment of the environmental ethics in Mormon belief emerged. However, since that time we have seen a steady and significant proliferation of such treatment even though LDS ecotheology unfortunately remains an understudied and underappreciated contribution to Mormon studies. When we consider that Joseph Smith provided three additional accounts of the creation and that the revelations of the Doctrine and Covenants provide instruction about the principles of environmental stewardship that is unprecedented in Christianity, it is surprising that these doctrines haven’t been given more attention. Moreover, given the significance of the environmental crisis before us, I am convinced that Mormon doctrines of the creation are among the most important and valuable insights the tradition has to offer. This essay assesses the major contributions during this recent upsurge of scholarship and provides suggestions for future directions. [From the text]
