Joseph Sittler, 1904--1987

Dr. Joseph Sittler Speaks at Augsburg (1969)

We've chosen Joseph Sittler to represent ecotheology partly because of his midwestern roots as a Lutheran theologian, but also because he is considered to be the early pioneer of 'ecotheology' . See the 2014 dissertation by Pihkala, "Joseph Sittler and Early Ecotheology" (see Abstract)
