RESUMO

The anthropocentric proposal about the planet in the modern society is the reason of an environmental crisis without proceeding in history. The environmental model illustrated by the ecocentric texts from the Old Testament has presented diverse values from those proposed by current society. The main goal of this work was to distinguish the ecocentric values in the following texts of the Holy Scriptures: Genesis 1: 1-2, 4a and 6-9, Exodus 23: 10-11, Deuteronomy 22: 6-7; 20, 19-20 and 23: 13-15, Psalms 8 and 104 and the entire Book of Job through a wide-ranging literature using exegetes thematic approaches. Moreover, no exegesis of those texts was employed in this research. It was possible to notice that the values demonstrated in these Jewish-Christian texts may be employed by the environmental education in order to contribute to the current process formation of the new environmental paradigm.
