Description: "Christianity has often been accused of being 'anthropocentric,' of putting humanity at the centre of its perspective - thus endorsing human exploitation of the environment. Yet God's words in the book of Job offer a quite different perspective - one where creation is centred on God, and humanity is comparatively marginal. It is a theocentric vision which Christians need to recapture"--Page 4 of cover.
