Creation Care Discipleship: Why Earthkeeping Is an Essential Christian Practice - Steven Bouma-prediger

Descriere Creation Care Discipleship: Why Earthkeeping Is an Essential Christian Practice - Steven Bouma-prediger

Although our planet faces numerous ecological crises, including climate change, many Christians continue to view their faith as primarily a spiritual matter that has little relationship to the world in which we live. But Steven Bouma-Prediger contends that protecting and restoring our planet is part and parcel of what it means to be a Christian. \n \nMaking his case from Scripture, theology, and ethics and including insights from the global church, Bouma-Prediger explains why Christians must acknowledge their identity as earthkeepers and therefore embrace their calling to serve and protect their home planet and fellow creatures. To help readers put an earthkeeping faith into practice, he also suggests numerous practical steps that concerned believers can take to care for the planet. \n \nBouma-Prediger unfolds a biblical vision of earthkeeping and challenges Christians to view care for the earth as an integral part of Christian discipleship.
