In this book Allen Verhey addresses this reality and seeks to show the importance of bringing a Christian voice into the debate. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eVerhey identifies the various narratives under which people view the term \"nature\" and then questions these narratives or \"myths\" at work in our culture. He presents the biblical narrative as an alternative story capable of providing a different understanding of nature and altering it. Finally Verhey shows the relevance of the Christian story to many forms of discourse in our society, including contemporary ecological wisdom and analytical and political discourse. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNature and Altering It is Verhey's effort to nurture minds formed and informed by the Christian story that are capable of challenging the minds that shape our culture's attitudes toward nature and our use of it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Allen Verhey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802865488\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802865489\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e William B.
