The Green Bible is Here!



I had the opportunity to preview the just released Green Bible published by HarperCollins in conjuction with The Sierra Club, The Humane Society, and Eco-Justice Program. It just so happens my ethics professor, Dr. Steven Bouma-Prediger, served on the publicating committee for this project. For more information, click here to check it out!

You might remember the Red Letter Bible (the words of Jesus were inked in red color). Well this is the Green Letter Bible. Any reference to creation, or caring for the earth is inked in green. There are over 1000 references in green! If anything...this kind of Bible is at minimum a reminder that not only as Christians but as a global village of people we need to care for our earth which sustains us in so many ways.

PS - I would be happy to receive such a gift. =)
