{"product_id":"the-bible-and-ecology-richard-bauckham-9781602583108","title":"The Bible and Ecology: Rediscovering the Community of Creation","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith his characteristic rigor and perceptiveness, Richard Bauckham embarks on a biblical investigation into the relationship between human beings and the rest of creation. Bauckham argues that there is much more to the Bible's understanding of this relationship than the mandate of human dominion given in Genesis 1--which, he writes, has too often been used as a justification for domination and exploitation of the earth's resources. Instead, Bauckham considers the ecological perspectives found in the book of Job, the Psalms, and the Gospels, all of which, he determines, require a reevaluation of the biblical tradition of \"dominion.\" Bauckham discovers a tradition of a \"community of creation\" in which human beings are fellow members with God's other creatures and true reconciliation to God involves the entire creation. Short, reliable, and engaging, \u003ci\u003eThe Bible and Ecology\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading for anyone looking for a biblically grounded approach to ecology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Bauckham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1602583102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781602583108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Baylor University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/25\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.44h x 5.40w x 0.72d","brand":"Richard Bauckham","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44043114610943,"sku":"9781602583108","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9c8b950e-4d34-42e5-834a-5122791ff613.jpg?v=1684965340","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-bible-and-ecology-richard-bauckham-9781602583108","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
