About this title

Review:

“As you read The Green Bible starting in Genesis, you will see that after God created birds, fish and animals he created humans to be his viceroys and to act "compassionately and gently" towards all forms of life...We can be wantonly irresponsible, or we can be caring and compassionate. God says: I put before you a choice. Choose life.”
– Archbishop Desmond Tutu

“The Green Bible sets out an urgent agenda for the Christian community”
– Eugene H Peterson, Professor Emeritus of Spiritual Theology, Regent College

“No better road-map exists for your journey into creation-care”
– Rev Jim Ball, PhD, President & CEO, Evangelical Environmental Network
