Von der hinteren Coverseite

"A decisive case that creation care is necessary, not optional, to faithful Christian practice"

In Creation Care Discipleship, Steven Bouma-Prediger calls us to serve, protect, and restore our planet and demonstrates how we can put an "earthkeeping faith" into practice.

"Over many years, Bouma-Prediger has been a leading voice charting the way for earthkeeping as an essential Christian practice. Now in his latest wide-ranging book, we are treated to a distillation of the wisdom he has acquired along the way."
--Norman Wirzba, Kenan Institute for Ethics, Duke University

"This is a book that the whole church in the US will want to welcome. Deeply informed by recent ecumenical discussions and creatively engaged with current justice issues, this well-written study is predicated on a lucidly rendered ethic of Christian virtue."
--H. Paul Santmire, author of Brother Earth, The Travail of Nature: The Ambiguous Ecological Promise of Christian Theology, and EcoActivist Testament

"Bouma-Prediger blends decades of reflection, teaching, and scholarship into a comprehensive study. Creation Care Discipleship presents a decisive case that creation care is necessary, not optional, to faithful Christian practice."
--Debra Rienstra, Calvin University; author of Refugia Faith

"I was twenty-one years old when I read my first Bouma-Prediger book. From that moment on, my life has been a sequence of events reverberating from reading this brilliant thinker. This book will have the same effect on a whole new generation. I can't commend it enough."
--A. J. Swoboda, Bushnell University; author of After Doubt

"This is a book for our times! A rich and practical guide for how we can better live out God's call to care for all creation."
--Ben Lowe, executive director, A Rocha USA

"Bouma-Prediger's skills as a teacher are on full display in this wonderful book that manages in a short space to introduce readers to the biblical, theological, ethical, and practical foundations for earthkeeping. Highly recommended!"
--Jonathan Moo, Whitworth University
