From what we have described in the earlier sections, the Judeo-Christian religion overcomes the unnecessary human-nature dichotomy created by both anthropocentric and biocentric approaches.
By using stories such as the creation story in Genesis and the story of St. Francis befriending Brother Wolf, the connections between people and nature are dramatized thus made more memorable to listeners. These are examples of successfully using narratives and rhetoric to reach out to the layperson, increasing their ecological awareness by helping them understand the interdependence of human and nature in the web of all living things, without sounding overly academic or political (Patterson, 2006). Ecological awareness is a powerful predictor of sustainable behavior, people are more likely to act in a ecological manner if they understand.
