Renewl of the Earth

To Care for the Earth: A Call For Green Theolgy is has got to be one of THEE best Progressive Eco-Christin books I have ever read! It is such a sahme that it is out of print now. However, there are at least 7 copies used for sell here I saw and I would well recommend getting one! This book explains how the Old Testament's orginal call was for humanity to 'SHAMAR" the earth and animals which in Hebrew means "To take care of" NOT to "rule OVER", exploite or "dominate". The writer also explains how history HAS PROVED that man's efforts to destroy and ruin God's earth and exploit animals has also gone hand and hand with dominating women. The book brings out how Jesus was and IS so striking different in his positive and non-sexist ways towards women vs. the modern day fundamentalists! I highly recommend THIS book!(...)
