Summary/Abstract: Ecotheology as a new field among the theological sciences tries to create a theological foundation for ecology and environmental protection. Taking into account the interdisciplinary perspective, it tries to establish a dialogue with natural and social sciences. At the same time, it creates the space for ecumenical meeting. The threat of ecological disaster unites people of different faiths and world views. The study is an attempt to justify to what extent ecotheology can help formulate a response to the contemporary ecological crisis. This task is only possible in connection with the achievements of such disciplines as: cosmology, evolutionary biology, ethics, social anthropology and cultural studies. Among the already existing attempts at such extensive research, it is worth taking into account the publications of Thomas Berry (functional cosmology) or John Zizioulas (ethical protology).
