Creation Care
From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible reveals a God whose creative
power and loving care embrace all that exists, from earth and sky and sea to
every creeping, crawling, swimming, and flying creature. Yet the significance
of the Bible's extensive teaching about the natural world is easily
overlooked by Christians accustomed to focusing only on what the Bible says
about God's interaction with human beings.
In Creation Care, part of the Biblical Theology for Life series, father
and son team Douglas and Jonathan Moo invite readers to open their Bibles
afresh to explore the place of the natural world within God's purposes
and to celebrate God's love as displayed in creation and new creation.
Following the contours of the biblical storyline, they uncover answers to
questions such as:
- What is the purpose of the non-human creation?
- Can a world with things like predators, parasites, and natural
disasters still be the 'good' world described in Genesis 1?
- What difference does the narrative of the 'Fall' make for
humankind's responsibility to rule over other creatures?
- Does Israel's experience on the land have anything to teach
Christians about their relationship with the earth?
- What difference does Jesus make for our understanding of the natural
world?
- How does our call to care for creation fit within the hope for a new
heaven and a new earth?
- What is unique about Christian creation care compared with other
approaches to 'environmental' issues?
- How does creation care fit within the charge to proclaim the gospel
and
care for the poor?
In addition to providing a comprehensive biblical theology of creation
care, they probe behind the headlines and politicized rhetoric about an
'environmental crisis' and climate change to provide a careful and
judicious analysis of the most up-to-date scientific data about the state of
our world. They conclude by setting forth a bold framework and practical
suggestions for an effective and faithful Christian response to the scriptural
teaching about the created world.
But rather than merely offering a response to environmental concerns,
Creation Care invites readers into a joyful vision of the world as God's
creation in which they can rediscover who they truly are as creatures called to
love and serve the Creator and to delight in all he has made.
