Living with Other Creatures: Green Exegesis and Theology

Richard Bauckham is a fellow of the British Academy and the Royal Society of Edinburgh. He is the author of several books, including The Bible and Ecology: Rediscovering the Community of Creation and J esus and the Eyewitnesses: The Gospels as Eyewitness Testimony, winner of the 2009 Michael Ramsey Prize for Theological Writing.

Bauckham reminds the reader that, as Creator, God delights in and cares for all creation.... He wishes to recover the biblical view of human solidarity with the rest of creation by establishing creation's own inherent value. (Five-star review)
