While the Earth Endures

- Creation, Cosmology and Climate Change

by Philip Foster


The author has degrees in Bio-chemistry and Theology, so is well equipped to tackle current issues of environmental concern, with a viewpoint balanced between creationism and evolution, the two opposite poles of current argument, and he incorporates, quite neatly, Biblical viewpoints. For readers scared of scientific reading (and I've never understand the Law of Thermo-dynamics), bite the bullet and be informed. I became fascinated by the “gap theory”. Towards the end of the book, a range of environmental and climate change issues are argued with evidence and determination, and much of what we see and hear in the popular media is seriously challenged. Some fascinating challenges to established thoughts on Christian aid giving arise from these arguments. Available from publisher. The price includes postage and packing. Email: pf.smp@dial.pipex.com

Wind, Sun, Soil, Spirit

- Biblical Ethics and Climate Change

by Carol S. Robb


Fortress Press have published a scholarly and unique book that seeks to earth ecological justice in the soil of a sustainably biblical vision. Carol Robb weaves together so many of the most difficult themes possible, ranging from ecology, economics, the New Testament and our environment in this rare and accessible title.
After reading I felt significantly helped to move from naiveté to understanding and beyond in this critical cultural matter……. As the subtitle paints, this is biblical ethics and it’s intersection with climate change as the focus with academic rigour clear throughout ranging from Torah to policy change! This attractively delivered book offers content and challenge in abundance as well as longer footnotes than many books! Truly important and insightful for our times.
