It isn't interesting, and I have trouble taking it seriously. 1) She is using a modern Bible translation, but never identifies it (nor gives the copyright information). 2) She discusses the first colour change of the peppered moth, but not the change back as pollution was reduced. This is available on Wikipedia, very easy to find if you do any research more than copying out of outdated books. I've read over half, and find myself dreading picking it up again. So I won't. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
For millennia, plant and animal species have received little sustained attention as subjects of Christian theology and ethics in their own right. Focused on the human dilemma of sin and redemptive grace, theology has considered the doctrine of creation to be mainly an overture to the main drama of humanity's relationship to God. What value does the natural world have within the framework of religious belief? The crisis of biodiversity in our day, when species are going extinct at more than 1,000 times the natural rate, renders this question acutely important. Standard perspectives need to be realigned; theology needs to look out of the window so to speak, as well as in the mirror. Ask the Beasts: Darwin and the God of Love leads to the conclusion that love of the natural world is an intrinsic element of faith in God and that far from being an add-on, ecological care is at the center of moral life.
