For Christians who cultivate theological acuity, so that they see things as God sees them.This stimulating volume offers biblical, theological and scientific perspectives on creation and the environment.You'll be left reflecting God's love and wisdom in how we relate to all he has made. Part of Christian 'discipleship of the mind' is to learn to cultivate theological acuity, so that we see things as God sees them - and act accordingly. 'As Long as the Earth Endures' is a book with regard to creation and our responsibilities in and for it, the light of the gospel of Jesus Christ illumines much that would otherwise remain shadowy and unresolved.Hence, this stimulating volume called 'As Long as the Earth Endures' offers biblical, theological and scientific perspectives on creation and the environment, in the hope that we may learn to see the world more clearly, to perceive its beauty and brokenness when and where we ought, and to reflect God's love and wisdom in how we relate to all he has made
