Sr Veronica Lawson is a Sister of Mercy and Biblical scholar based in Ballarat. In a wide-ranging conversation with Dr Sandie Cornish of the Office for Justice, Ecology and Peace, she explains what it means to adopt an ecological hermeneutic, or interpretative stance, in relation to Scripture, and the meaning of deep incarnation.
Veronica was the first woman President of the Australian Catholic Biblical Association but is probably best known for her Weekly Reflections on the Sunday Gospel, which have a global circulation. Her book, The Blessing of Mercy: Bible Perspectives and Ecological Challenges, published in 2015 proved to be a valuable resource for the Year of Mercy.
Veronica shares the story of her love for Scripture and how it is a part of her work for ecological justice.
