He also critiques the notion of stewardship as being on the one hand presumptuous, and on the other too general a term to explain our key responsibilities in caring for the earth. In countering this, he considers other biblical perspectives, including the book of Job, the Psalms and the Gospels, and re-evaluates the biblical tradition of 'dominion', in favour of a 'community of creation'.With its clear analysis and thought-provoking conclusions, The Bible and Ecology is an essential read for anyone interested in a biblically grounded approach to ecology.Sarum Theological Lectures SeriesReligion / Christian TheologybisacshReligionReligion / Christian TheologyReligionBauckham Richard611404ScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910645997903321Bible and Ecology3005924UNINA
