Environmentalists have pleaded with Christian leaders to take up the challenge of caring for the environment. How should Christians respond to the environmental crisis? What does the Bible have to say about creation care and the responsibility of Christians? Edward Brown offers a biblical framework for creation care as well as practical steps that ordinary Christians can take to exercise good ecological stewardship. As a pioneering leader of the evangelical creation care movement, Brown provides a new model for "environmental missions," in which Christian organizations respond to ecological crises in ways that transform both the people and the land that sustains them. This book is filled with ideas that students, churches, mission agencies and all concerned Christians can implement at home and around the world.

Our Father's World: Mobilizing the Church to Care for Creation

Religion & Spirituality

Brown, Edward R.

Christian Books & Bibles

Can we have a world that reflects God's goals rather than our own? And what does that mean for us and for our environment? Our problem is not just polluted rivers or a changing climate or an unjust economic system. Our problem is that our rebellion against God has consequences. If the ideas Ed Brown articulates here are taken seriously, they will force us to rethink everything we do as human beings.

What does the environmental crisis have to do with the Great Commission? What does climate change have to do with Christian faith? For more than a decade Ed Brown, a leader in the evangelical creation care movement, has been helping Christians grapple with these questions. Our Father’s World, now updated and reissued, is his bold, passionate and practical call to action. Drawing on a wealth of theological knowledge and practical experience, Brown sets out to show how care for God’s creation is rooted in the Gospel and how environmental problems are sin problems. The author gives a sobering accounting of the environmental costs of our destruction of creation, from the cost of cleaning up after the local block party to the tragic global costs in lives and livelihoods. More importantly, he shows how the Gospel offers hope and guidance, and he proposes concrete steps for how students, families, mission agencies and churches can respond.
In this revised third edition Brown takes stock of what has changed since he first wrote more than a decade ago, offering valuable reflections on the state of the biblical creation care movement from one of its pioneers.

Colossal military blunders, home invasion and kidnapping, animal cruelty, theft by trusted servants, family members quarreling over inheritances. Headlines in today's news? Perhaps, but they were also part of life in colonial Beverly.
