520 $aNo one in America today can ignore environmentalism as a public issue. It permeates discussion in the media, the schools, the political arena, and even our churches. This timely volume by E. Calvin Beisner clarifies the issues at stake in the environmental debate by detailing the history of the evangelical environmentalist movement and exploring both its weaknesses and its strengths.
520 8 $aBeisner interacts critically but constructively with evangelical environmentalists' use of Scripture, theology, and ethics, pointing out both where they have provided sound prescriptions for enhanced environmental stewardship and where their positions might be improved. He also sets forth his own creative views about the implications of such Biblical doctrines as dominion, the fall, and redemption.
520 8 $aFinally, he offers as a foundation for Christian environmental ethics a fresh and challenging exposition of the Biblical themes of garden and wilderness.
