The Earth Under Threat

Ghillean Prance, Director of Kew Gardens, applies his immeasurable knowledge as a botanist and scientist and his deeply held Christian beliefs to the basic questions surrounding our destruction of the earth. He explores the Christian tradition and suggests guidelines for a responsible stewardship of creation, giving practical suggestions for ways in which we can take action, both through the Church and individually, for radical and effective change.

‘Many Christians still remain wary of engaging in today’s environmental causes. But Ghillean Prance’s lucid and succinct account of our obligations as Christians to “serve and preserve” God’s Earth, moving from sinful and destructive domination to compassionate stewardship will both reassure and inspire its readers.’
