Abstract
References in the encyclical Laudato Si’ to the writings of Paul are brief and rare. Yet the creation stories of Genesis 1–3, which do feature prominently, receive a rich development in Paul’s theology, notably in his presentation of Adam as a negative foil to the redemptive work of Christ. This article argues that an appreciation of the Adamic theology emerging from passages such as Romans 5:12–21; Philippians 2:6–11; 1 Corinthians 15:21–28, and particularly Romans 8:18–22, can fruitfully enlarge the range of Scripture to which the encyclical makes appeal.
