Caring for Creation
Ed. Sarah Tillett
'We are now faced with the crisis of climate change. My hope and prayer are that Christians will be found in the vanguard of those who influence public opinion and agitate for governmental action. To that end this book should make a significant contribution.'
From the foreword by John Stott

 
Surveying our world today, we can easily feel overwhelmed by the seemingly unstoppable destruction of the environment. News of deforestation, extinction of species, over-fishing, global warming, and the build-up of toxins in the very soil, plus forecasts of future catastrophe can cause us to wonder whether we can make any difference at all.

The Bible clearly shows that we each have a God-given responsibility towards the natural world, however. This book brings together a distinguished group of environmental and theological experts to examine the implications of the biblical teaching on the relationship between human creatures and creation. Interspersed are stories from around the world, drawn from the work of A Rocha, an international Christian organisation dedicated to environmental conservation, offering hope for the healing and transformation of the land.
