Earth and Word: Classic Sermons on Saving the Planet

By David Rhoads

Book Overview

A project initiated by the Web of Creation (www.webofcreation.org) to compile sermons on ecology, creation, nature and justice, and a means to foster and strengthen the church's commitment to eco-justice ministry. Although there has been a steady growth in the production of theological literature on ecology and nature, the commitment of congregations to eco-justice ministry is very weak. The power of the Word of God in preaching as a means to inculcate Christian responsibility to care for creation is an area that requires helpful resources.

Customer Reviews

Important considerations recommended for any Christian library.

For centuries Christians have preached a domination of the earth, but EARTH AND WORD provides a difference: sermons from the Christian community which do not condone the destruction and conquest of the environment in the name of God. The voices of environmentalists, theologians, and activists such as Wendell Berry, John Cobb, and others explore connections between thinking religiously and thinking ecologically, and make for important considerations recommended for any Christian library.
