Creation and Hope

Science & Faith

“It is a privilege to have such a wide variety of perspectives and experience gathered under one cover with this collection of fascinating papers. When theological and ecological reflection come together it is always fruitful, but it is immeasurably more valuable when they are grounded in a particular place as they were in Aotearoa by those who have contributed, and by the work of Nicola Hoggard Creegan in particular. . . However unreflective activism carries its own dangers, and so I trust that Creation and Hope will find the readership it deserves.”

Creation Care

Theology

“This careful and comprehensive book will be not only a major resource for all those who want to explore the full contours of biblical thinking about the care of creation but should also be understood as a powerful call to action. With deceptive ease, Douglas and Jonathan Moo recapitulate the major areas of debate and discussion from the recent decades of slowly dawning evangelical engagement with our current global, environmental crisis. They argue that our human and Christian calling means that we are to care for God’s good earth, and with thoughtful but readable expertise they guide us through a complex landscape of ancient texts and contemporary challenges. As we follow their lead, it becomes increasingly clear that both of these distinguished scholars are writing not just out of their studies but out of a coherent and committed life. So it is a privilege to commend this book and a delight to know that it will now be available to the growing numbers of those who need firm foundations for their Christian worship, work, and witness in a groaning but good creation.”

Deeps Where the Elephant May Swim

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“This is a very fine book and one which I commend to all, whether Christian or not. It is very rich in its scriptural insights but goes well beyond ‘head-knowledge’ by challenging its readers to work out in their lives the lessons of each chapter.”

God's Good World

Theology

“Jonathan Wilson’s scholarly and comprehensive work insists that the goal of creation can only be understood in Christ and that redemption reaches all things. His careful research has established significant and original connections to a wide variety of related topics but also provides a vital commentary on numerous other authors as well as on scripture itself. God’s Good World is a major contribution to the growing literature on a doctrine that has been sadly neglected until recently, but it is charged with hope. Anyone who wants to discover the rich resource that Christian theology provides both the church and our world as we face acute environmental challenges will be grateful for this timely book.”

Is Anyone in Charge Here?

Theology

“For decades Selwyn Yeoman has thought deeply, and acted radically, to forward the vital issues that his book now addresses. As he calls us back to Christ and reviews how we have come to our current ecological and theological crisis, he brings a learned and helpful impetus to all who are called to engage with the immense challenges of re-orienting our desires and our theology, and working for the future of life on Earth.”

Weathering Change

Christian Living

“Weathering Change is a wonder and a deep comfort for all who know how change can weather us. Courtney Ellis's refreshingly unusual writing seamlessly weaves readings of creation, Scripture, and some of her own candidly told story into the profound mystery of living in God's world with all its glory and its groaning. Her wise curiosity and her love of nature in general and birds in particular are what make this book about the challenges that change brings to us all so beautifully original. I trust it will find and bless a wide audience of both believers and questioners.”
