What is creation for? / Doesn't creation care confuse nature with God? / Isn't it more urgent to care for humans than the planet? / Isn't all of creation violent? / Should we intervene to conserve biodiversity? : a brief (and timid) defense of zoological gardens / Caring for orphans : an experiment in interspecies care at Noah's Ark in Georgia / Won't technology save us? : taking leadership on environmental concerns / Aren't humans stewards of God's creation? : on the moral importance of naming ourselves in relation to the land / Aren't we responsible for the environment / What about Jesus and the fig tree? : Jesus talks to plants : prophetic warnings, agrarian wisdom, and earth symbolism / Isn't it all going to burn anyway? : finding common ground with creation care skeptics / Is heaven just for human souls? / Are there alternative paradigms for creation care? / If you want to cultivate peace, protect creation / Pope Benedict XVI. Celia Deane-Drummond -- Steven Bouma-Prediger -- Brenna Cussen Anglada -- Nekeisha Alexis-Baker -- Tripp York -- L. Diane Smith -- Arthur Paul Boers -- Kelly Johnson -- Samuel Ewell and Claudio Oliver -- Ched Myers -- Nancy Sleeth -- Laura Yordy -- John Howard Yoder --
Even as evidence accumulates that humans have significantly contributed to global climate change, many Christians have questions about what it means to care for creation. Some question whether focusing on creation care takes away from a person's spirituality or from caring for other humans. Others wonder to what extent we can live peaceably with nonhuman creation. Still others wonder whether we should be better stewards of the environment and whether developing better technology might save us from the current crisis. The diverse authors of this volume address these questions in an accessible way.
