Caring for Creation: Responsible Stewardship of God's Handiwork

Is there a Christ-centered response to such environmental crises as global warming, land degradation, and species extinction In Caring for Creation, Calvin DeWitt presents a biblical approach to being a good steward of the earth.

From Publisher:

In Caring for Creation, Calvin DeWitt helps evangelical Christians develop a biblically faithful, Christ-centered response to environmental issues.

Dr. DeWitt sets his call for stewardship against the backdrop of species extinction and six other key issues. In contrast to a "religion" of the self, the Bible calls us to serve and care for creation on behalf of its Creator. DeWitt grounds our stewardship in three fundamental questions: Is Jesus Christ Lord of creation? Is creation a lost cause? Whom do we follow when we follow Jesus Christ?

This book reminds readers that the world God loved and sent his Son to redeem includes creation, so our attitude should become like his, that of a servant.

Presented in the Kuyper Lecture series, Caring for Creation includes responses from Richard A. Baer Jr., professor of environmental ethics, Cornell University; Thomas Sieger Derr, professor of religion, Smith College; and Congressman Vernon J. Ehlers (R-Mich.), vice-chair of the House Science Committee.
