Honoring Christ in Caring for His Creation (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780983865346)

The world today needs to completely rethink its relationship to the environment, and nothing less than a complete transformation of perspective and behavior is required. For those who adhere to the Christian faith, such a transformation must begin at the foot of the cross. In honor to our Lord we should be leading the world by example in responding appropriately to a creation that groans.

As the bible teaches, Christ is both the cornerstone of our faith and the Creator of all things, and therefore, He is the most appropriate starting point when we think about creation. Since Christ exhorted us to love God wholeheartedly and to love our neighbors as ourselves, we have a divine obligation to glorify the creator in our treatment of creation, and a profound responsibility to consider how such treatment will impact other people, both now and into the future. caring for creation, therefore finds its firm foundation in the person and work of Christ.

This book is about the fact that a desire to honor Christ should be central to our perspective as we relate to creation. How we use and care for land, fish, forests and other resources all needs to flow from a determined commitment to the One who originally created the wonders of this world.
