Thus, it is difficult to have a useful discussion of the nature of appropriate human action towards the natural world without taking into account the extent to which several widespread views on the environment are undisputedly motivated by religious belief. Here Creation and the Environment fills a useful niche. -- Carol Medlicott Ethics, Place and the Environment A revealing and multi-disciplinary examination of one particular Christian perspective on the topic... one is left understanding the way in which a faith commitment can have specific consequences for the practical working out of a creation-caring lifestyle. -- Randolph Haluza-DeLay Studies in Religion\/Sciences Religieuse A rich collection of essays on a sustainable world based on Anabaptist insights. Each of the essays is important and contributes to a basic theology of nature, stewardship, population, personal behavior, and public action. I can't recommend this book too highly. -- John A.
