First sentence: In the last several years, especially as environmentalists have laid the blame for ecological destruction at the feet of Jews and Christians, scholars and laypeople alike have turned to scripture for inspiration and guidance in rethinking humanity's relation to nature.
Description: In this work, Norman Wirzba argues that the doctrine of creation - as presented in the Bible and as developed through the centuries - actually holds the key to a true understanding of our place in the environment and our responsibility towards it.
