Is there hope for the future of the Earth? David Hallman answers with a resounding yes. Hallman explores exciting new concepts in the field of science, religious, and economics -- concepts that have the power to transform our understanding of our relationship to the rest of Creation. He reveals how intrinsically connected humans are to the whole ecosystem; how God wills a harmonious relationship between ourselves and the rest of Creation; and how our economy could be restructured to function in a less destructive relationship with the environment. Finally, he assesses political realities that could constrain or facilitate movement towards a more sustainable type of society.

Wesley Granberg-Michaelson shows how humanity's dominion over the world has brought us to a crisis in which technology holds the power for destroying the world as well as for creating new life forms... What is the Christian response demanded by these circumstances? What answers does teh church hold out in the face of global problems of this nature? These are among the issues this book addresses, offering a responsible, coherent, and biblically centered view supporting the belief that the church "can reveal the connection of all the creation to God, and offer hope for healing the earth."
