Biography

Hilary Marlow is a Fellow and Graduate Tutor at Girton College and an Affiliated Lecturer at the Faculty of Divinity at the University of Cambridge. She focuses her research on the interaction between religious scriptures and the environment, emphasizing the biblical depiction of humans' relationship with the natural world and its relevance in contemporary contexts. Marlow is particularly interested in the Christian motivations for environmental concerns and uses biblical texts to explore environmental ethics. Her work includes textual studies of how nature is portrayed in scriptures and investigating creation texts within Jewish and Christian traditions. She is the co-editor of the forthcoming Oxford Handbook on the Bible and Ecology and has led a research project examining the relationship between science and scripture within Christianity and Islam. Marlow also serves on the Editorial Committee for the Grove Books Biblical Series and is involved with the Society of Biblical Literature's Ecological Hermeneutics Programme. Actively committed to environmentalism, she volunteers with the Christian conservation charity Rocha and is a regularly invited speaker on environmental research.
