Inhabiting Eden
Inhabiting Eden: Christians, the Bible, and the Ecological Crisis | Patricia K. Tull
3 posts | 1 read
In this thoughtful study, respected Old Testament scholar Patricia K. Tull explores the Scriptures for guidance on today's ecological crisis. Tull looks to the Bible for what it can tell us about our relationships, not just to the earth itself, but also to plant and animal life, to each other, to descendants who will inherit the planet from us, and to our Creator. She offers candid discussions on many current ecological problems that humans contribute to, such as the overuse of energy resources like gas and electricity, consumerism, food production systems--including land use and factory farming--and toxic waste. Each chapter concludes with discussion questions and a practical exercise, making it ideal for both group and individual study. This important book provides a biblical basis for thinking about our world differently and prompts us to consider changing our own actions.

Absolutely loved it. Tull did an incredible job blending thoughtful, academic arguments with faith-based reasoning to create a compelling argument about why and how Christians should care about the environment. Her chapter on our broken relationship with animals was particularly convicting—I‘m still processing it.

(1/2) I don‘t know why this particular section hit me so hard, but it‘s beautifully said, and resonates with some feelings I‘ve been sorting through for many months now. Perhaps it reminds me of our culture of #selfactualization and #selflove, and the multitudes of people who privately confess they feel miserable and empty inside. (And I‘ve fallen into some of these traps, as well.) But fulfillment and happiness is best found in Christ.
