think #11 wades into the hot-button environmental issue dominating our media and our politics in recent months. But we don't examine it because of its hype or its popularity; we believe the issue has legs for much deeper reasons than the "new apocalypse" or "Suzuki morality".
We kick off the conversation with a theology lesson. We believe that the Christian tradition can deliver a credible organizing principle for environmental policy, starting with hopeful ideas in a broken and complex situation.
Dr. Steven Bouma-Prediger is the Professor of Religion at Hope College in Holland, Michigan. This CD reproduces a lecture he delivered at the two-day Christianity and the Environment conference staged by the MacLaurin Institute, at the University of Minneapolis. We thank both Steven and the MacLaurin Institute for their partnership with think.
