Stewards of eden: what scripture says about the environment and why it matters - sandra l. richter

Sandra L.

Richter cares about the Bible.

She also cares about creation.

An expert in ancient Israelite society and economy as well as biblical theology, she walks readers through passages familiar and not-so-familiar, showing how significant environmental theology is to the Bibles witness.

She then calls Christians to apply that message to todays environmental concerns.

Richter is a master Bible scholar.

Each chapter draws out a biblical mandate about humanitys responsibility to care for the land, domestic and wild creatures, and people on the margins.

She is also a master storyteller.

Well informed on present-day environmental challenges, Richter includes case studies that connect the biblical mandates to current issues.

Though modern political alliances may tempt readers to sever Christian faith from environmental stewardship, in this concise and accessible book, Richter urges us to be driven by Gods values instead.
