In addition to filling this important void, \u003ci\u003eBetween Heaven and Earth: Christian Perspectives on Environmental Protection\u003c\/i\u003e is also unique in at least two ways. First, it frames Christian responses to ethical questions as they are understood by modern conservation ethicists. Second, it addresses issues of conservation management and policy as they really exist. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis captivating volume begins by framing the complex interaction between ethics, environment, and faith and the relation of that interaction to questions of environmental ethics. Subsequent chapters illuminate a biblical understanding of the human relationship to nature and the church's teachings and practices regarding that relationship, illustrated through the lives of scholars and saints. The book concludes with an examination of the ways in which Christian practice and teaching can shape environmental policy today and the ways in which partnerships can be built between the church and the environmental community.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fred Van Dyke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0313375364\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313375361\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2010 pg. 24","brand":"Fred Van Dyke","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44119579656447,"sku":"9780313375361","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_af1040a9-f49f-4b50-bc76-7bea4a06d099.jpg?v=1687410008","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/between-heaven-and-earth-fred-van-dyke-9780313375361","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
