9780857463838: A Christian Guide to Environmental Issues

Synopsis

Environmental sustainability is a major issue in society today. While Christian response was generally slow in the 1980s and 90s, concern has grown rapidly in the 21st century across the Church. In this book two environmental experts consider eight of the key contemporary issues, offering eco-tips to enable practice response as well as Bible-based reflections to deepen understanding. Among the issues covered are climate change, food, biodiversity, and population - and the relationship between environmental problems and issues relating to world development.
