God is the Creator of all and cares deeply for all that he has made. His vision for creation is seen through a world teeming with life where eternity is breathed into and through all creation. Jesus teaches that humans must live with a spirit of generosity and restraint; however, a spirit of meanness and greed dominates human culture and leaves nearly 1.3 billion people living on less than $1 a day.
The politics of globalization based on principles of greed have resulted in the loss of biodiversity, deforestation, and a shortage of food and clean water. Jesus teaches that those who are generous are blessed, and such generosity brings justice to all creation. There cannot be God's social justice without ecological sanity, and yet we tend to speak of social justice as though non-human creation doesn't matter. God cares even for the flowers of the field, yet we show contempt for God in our careless plunder of his creation. To love God is to love all that he has made, from our own families to the soil outside our homes.
The Ecology of the New Testament Creation ReCreation and the Environment edition by Mark Bredin Religion Spirituality eBooks
This would be one of the basic books I'd recommend for the general reader who wants to understand the ecological crisis from perspective of those who self-identify as followers of the Bible and teachings of Jesus. The more I study what could be called "the theology of nature," the more apparent it is that God had been delighted in all "creation" and creatures — and wanted us to benefit from it while preserving and protecting resources.In short, this book helps us to read the bible with green lenses. It is amazing, exciting, and inspiring how much ecological wisdom, warning, and hope there is. If the New Testament would seem to be silent compared to the Old, the Torah or the Pentateuch, consider how often Jesus uses metaphors from nature.
This book is a cry that, I hope, isn't lost in the wilderness of the modern Christian church's ignorance about the "groaning of nature," as St. Paul puts it in the book of Romans.
