Abstract
What is whose? Ecological questions regarding the human use of space, air, precious metals and other natural resources make it necessary to reconsider the claim on property from a theological perspective. Whereas the modern mind takes a firm stand on property from an anthropocentric view, a biblically oriented approach relativizes any absolute claim on property and relates our use of resources to God as Giver and Sustainer of life.
