Book Synopsis
In this book the author re-examines the relevance of the seminal texts of western civilization for the present environmental debate. He is arguing that what we today know as 'Christian cosmology' is in fact a grafting of classical Greek philosophy onto ancient Israelite thought, with certain valuable traditions being all but lost in the process. The dietary laws of Leviticus and Deuteronomy, in particular, still prove surprisingly relevant today.

Trade Review
'Boersema writes with considerable competence as far as O.T. criticism is concerned [...] his treatment of biblical passages will be of benefit to biblical scholars as well as to wider audiences.' P.J. Williams, in Vetus Testamentum.
