Product Description

Secular environmentalists have pleaded with Christian leaders to take up the challenge of caring for the environment. How should Christians respond to the environmental crisis? What does the Bible have to say about creation care and the responsibility of Christians?

Edward Brown offers a biblical framework for creation care as well as practical steps that ordinary Christians can take to exercise good ecological stewardship. As a pioneering leader of the evangelical creation care movement, Brown provides a new model for "environmental missions," in which Christian organizations respond to ecological crises in ways that transform both the people and the land that sustains them.

This book is filled with ideas that students, churches, mission agencies and all concerned Christians can implement at home and around the world.

5 out of 5 stars A stirring challenge   August 19, 2008
Rev. Brown's book is a declaration and challenge to the evangelical church to reopen their Bibles and examine the relationship God intended humans to have with the natural world. He makes a strong biblical argument that our correct relationship to the earth is to be a steward and caretaker for it and that many environmental problems are ultimately a result of human "sins" such as greed and pride. He also argues that the Christian church should take the lead in confronting these problems. I would highly recommend this book both to Christians interested in exploring what the Bible has to say about current environmental issues and to environmentalists who feel that Christianity is hostile to the environment.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent book on the topic   August 19, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I am an environmentalist and a Christian who has read most of what is out there on the topic. This is BY FAR the best book written piece on the subject (of the 10 or books I have read). It is clear, concise, and Biblical. If you are planning to read one book on the topic - put this in your cart, now.
