Publisher's Description
This Is My Father's World critically engages contemporary environmental ethics and provides Christians with a theological foundation for appropriately relating to the world they call God's creation--a creation ethic. It is refreshingly and thoroughly scriptural. However, what the Bible says may shock people with conservative or liberal presuppositions already in mind. This book is a challenge to both sides of the debate.

“Gale Heide demonstrates, with remarkable clarity, that the care and love of creation are a central part of what it means to be a new creature in Christ. But this book is no doctrinaire tract for a barely baptized 'Christian' environmentalism. Heide shows with gentle insight the weakness in the foundation of all mere 'environmentalisms'. . . . God's creation--sometimes splendid, sometimes gritty--breaks through often in the book. Like much of the Bible, this book is written by one who knows intimately the behavior of animals, the glory of night skies, and the smell of the wind across open range. It is earthy, accessible, and wise.”
