Stewards of the Earth: Christianity and Creation Care

Praise for Stewards of the Earth

Woodrow Wilson said, ‘A nation which does not know what it was yesterday, does not know what it is today, nor what it is trying to do.’ The same can be said of the church. In this powerful collection of essays and interviews by and with Christian leaders, fifty years of American evangelical thinking about the gospel and creation is laid out for our inspection. Here we are reintroduced to ourselves—yesterday and today. And in the midst we are challenged to think better about what it is we are trying to do—for ourselves, our planet, and our children. Perspective is a powerful thing. Read the book.

This poignant edited volume complete with a powerful introduction by Evangelical luminary Loren Wilkinson is hands-down one of the best one-stop-shop volumes on Evangelical thinking about creation care over the last few decades. The fruit of this volume will grow for a time to come. The chorus of voices within seek not only to be rabidly faithful to Scripture and the way of Jesus—but are done with a sensitive and keen eye on the heartbreaking realities of the environmental crisis.
