Nature and Creation

“Richard H. Hiers goes behind contemporary policy discussions about environmental ethics, offering both lay and professional students of the Bible a carefully catalogued and annotated compendium of passages revealing the unique triangle of relationships between God, the wider creation, and human beings. Exploring texts from diverse Christian canons in short, accessible sections, Hiers thoughtfully reflects on environmental issues from creation as a divine agent to the land sabbatical and humane treatment of animals.”
