Using Our Father’s World as a textbook
Our Father’s World: Mobilizing the Church to Care for Creation is an ideal book for use as a text in a variety of different classroom settings where the need is to integrate contemporary information about the realities of the environmental crisis with the timeless principles of the Word of God.
Rev. Brown does this in a rather unique fashion that makes environmental information accessible to the Bible student, and biblical and theological principles applicable to the biology or environmental science scholar. And all is applied comprehensively to the practical challenges of bringing creation care into the center of church activities and programming in a way that will be extremely valuable for every pastor-in-training today.
Theologian David Gushee has this to say:
The book is simultaneously intellectual and practical. The first half of the book offers a rather comprehensive recasting of core biblical theology themes in a remarkably accessible way. It shows the potential for mainstreaming creation-care concerns into evangelical theology, which is crucial for the future of creation-care among us.
Suggested classroom settings might include:
- Contemporary Christian Issues
- Environmental Ethics
- Christian environmental stewardship
- Issues in Modern Missions
- Environmental Theology
- Environmental Education
- Global Development
