Living with Other Creatures: Green Exegesis and Theology
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Aiming to develop Christian thought on ecological ethics, Richard Bauckham mines Scripture and theology, discovering a firm command for Christians to care for all of God’s creation. Bauckham goes on to survey and discuss the generations of theologians who have sought to live out this biblical mandate. Reshaping the often misunderstood biblical notion of human dominion, Living with Other Creatures consults Scripture in its entirety and includes Jesus’ perspectives on creation, novel approaches to reading the gospels, and some of the most well-known “ecologists” throughout Christian history. The result is an innovative and enriching treatise that reminds readers of God’s whole creation—and humanity’s place within it.
