About this listen

Sandra L. Richter cares about the Bible. She also cares about the environment.

Using her expertise in ancient Israelite society and economy as well as in biblical theology, Richter walks listeners through passages familiar and not-so-familiar, showing how significant environmental theology is in the Bible's witness. She then calls Christians to apply that message to today's environmental concerns. Richter is a master Bible scholar. Each chapter in this timely book draws out a biblical mandate about care for the land, for domestic and wild animals, for people at the margins, and more. She is also a master storyteller. Well informed on the most significant challenges to present-day environmental stewardship, Richter includes case studies connecting modern day examples and scripture. Though current political values may tempt listeners to separate or even polarize Christian faith and ecological concerns, Richter urges us to be driven by God's values instead.

This book was a revelation. As a Christian and someone who is passionate about the environment, animal welfare etc I was amazed how much she drew out of a text I have read, but didn’t see properly. This is where scholarship is so helpful. It’s like the Bible is an environmental manifesto, but we needed someone with the skills and knowledge of Sandra Richter to bring it all out. Have been recommending this to all my Christian friends.

Pam Ward has a lovely warm easy voice to listen to, and I’ve actually given a few books a go just because she was narrating! Will be also buying the paper copy to lend to folk. A book which helps you understand and love God all the more

Fabulous book
