Editorial Reviews
Review
"Creation and the Environment is a helpful, valuable contribution to the growing corpus of writing on Christianity and the environment." -- Lytton John Musselman, Perspectives on Science and Christian Faith
"In any discussion of the environment of environmental responsibility, few elements are quite as complex and contentious as the relationship of religious belief to activities affecting the environment. Thus, it is difficult to have a useful discussion of the nature of appropriate human action towards the natural world without taking into account the extent to which several widespread views on the environment are undisputedly motivated by religious belief. Here Creation and the Environment fills a useful niche." -- Carol Medlicott, Ethics, Place and the Environment
"A revealing and multi-disciplinary examination of one particular Christian perspective on the topic... one is left understanding the way in which a faith commitment can have specific consequences for the practical working out of a creation-caring lifestyle." -- Randolph Haluza-DeLay, Studies in Religion/Sciences Religieuse
"A rich collection of essays on a sustainable world based on Anabaptist insights. Each of the essays is important and contributes to a basic theology of nature, stewardship, population, personal behavior, and public action. I can't recommend this book too highly." -- John A. Lapp, Provident Book Finder
"A rich and distinctive contribution to the growing literature on Christian eco-theology and environmental ethics." -- Anna Peterson, Worldviews
Review
"This collection of essays by 14 contributors grew out of the 1995 'Creation Summit' organized by the Environmental Taskforce of the Mennonite Church. Although the title implies the book offers a uniform viewpoint aimed at a specific group within the Christian tradition, happily neither is the case. This work will be of interest to anyone concerned about the human impact on creation and whether this ought to be a theological and ethical issue for the Christian... It makes a significant contribution to the area of Christian environmentalism (or creation care)." -- Laurie Braaten
