The Green Bible.
Have you seen this yet?
Harper Collins has produced an NRSV bible that is made from 100% recycled pages and binding, cotton cover and soy ink printing. It is a green letter edition highlighting the 1000+ passages speaking to the care for creation and stewardship of the earth. It also includes essays, quotes and a how-to guide for getting involved in eco-stewardship. It is endorsed/sponsered in conjunction with Sierra Club, Humane Society and Eco Justice Program of the National Council of Churches.
For me this comes as a double edged sword.
I think this is a great idea whose time has come and I hope that this will encourage xians to get more involved in the care for the earth. However, I am a bit skeptical as well because I am fearful that the Green Agenda is nothing more than a fad and it will eventually fade out. I hope I am wrong but time will tell. Nonetheless, I would be interested in checking it out.
