Abstract

What has Christian faith to do with care for the environment? And does the Bible say anything about ecological issues? Beginning with the prophets and poets of the Old Testament, this talk will explore the relationship between Christian discipleship and living sustainably, touching on issues such as justice, humility and worship.
