Creation and Ecology

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This pioneering work, in the face of climate change, forces us to relate ecology, economics, and the Bible in a radical new way, that might be called eco-economic hermeneutics. Especially challenging is the claim that the ancient Israelite political economy might contribute to a positive new approach to our natural world, even though Simkins admits that the circumstances of climate change challenge biblical cosmology. I recommend this volume as a way to—as Simkins says—redeem creation.”

Green Christianity

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Christian animism! God fully embodied within the natural world! Great! What a radical message, grounded in tradition and designed to inspire Christians to lift their spirits, celebrate their bodies, and above all, save the planet—whose crisis is also spiritual. We need more bold prophets like Wallace!”
