Description
In this thoughtful study, respected Old Testament scholar Patricia K. Tull explores the Scriptures for guidance on nowadays’s ecological crisis. Tull looks to the Bible for what it can let us know about our relationships, not just to the earth itself, but also to plant and animal life, to one another, to descendants who will inherit the planet from us, and to our Writer. She offers candid discussions on many current ecological problems that humans give a contribution to, such as the overuse of energy resources like gas and electricity, consumerism, food production systems–including land use and factory farming–and toxic waste. Every chapter concludes with discussion questions and a practical exercise, making it ideal for both group and individual study. This necessary book provides a biblical basis for thinking about our world another way and prompts us to imagine changing our own actions.
