Eco Bible Tackles the 3 Biggest Challenges with Climate Change
Fossil Fuel Pollution
Our unbounded use of fossil fuels to stoke our energy-intensive lifestyles is causing global climate change.
An international consensus of scientists predicts more intense and destructive storms, floods, and droughts resulting from human-induced changes in the atmosphere.
Unsustainable Water Supplies
Roughly 68% of the world’s freshwater is locked in ice caps, glaciers, and permanent snow.
In some coastal areas, sea level rise is beginning to regularly flood whole towns and low-lying parts of major cities.
Single-Use Plastics
Contemporary researchers find that nonbiodegradable plastics have polluted every corner of our planet’s oceans and have even reached the world’s deepest ocean trench at 10,989 meters.
By 2050, some analysts believe there will be more plastic (by weight) in the oceans than fish.
Eco Bible Addresses These Challenges with Positivity and Hope
“Almost as soon as I began reading, I knew that the Eco Bible would be a long term companion for me as I work to care for God’s creation and encourage other people of faith to do the same. Most communities of environmentalists I’ve encountered are heavily burdened by grim predictions of the future, which create an atmosphere of pessimism and disillusionment. What is unique to a Biblical perspective is hope, the “knowledge that we can choose; that we can learn from our mistakes and act differently next time.” The focus of environmentalism in the Eco Bible is completely different from a secular sense of hopelessness: here there is a spiritual conviction that we can and must turn from our destructive actions and live as we were created to: in peaceful, mutually beneficial flourishing with all that is.”
