Description

How a prodigal church might save the planet...

The world is in a mess and that mess is getting worse. Climate change is rapidly destroying God's creation. Our poorest neighbours are already suffering acutely but it will be our children and grandchildren who bear the full impact of the disaster.

If the Church rediscovered the real meaning of Jesus it could play a pivotal role in averting this catastrophe. Instead, it frets about its own survival and agonises over who is sleeping with whom.

The human race is staring into the abyss. Compared to the effects of climate change, nuclear war would be a stroll in the park. This book points a way forward that could bring life and hope to the planet - and the Church.

 

Incoming affirmation: 'Fine book. Let's hope it's not too late' - Richard Rohr (New Mexico, USA)

John Barton, Oriel Laing Professor of Biblical Interpretation at Oxford for more than 20 years: "I've read your book with much interest. It's highly readable and also very challenging and needs to be widely read."

Great book

A really interesting and stimulating read and a very accessible book. A must for our planet; whether you are a person of faith or not.

Not really a book about the Climate Crisis

This is an interesting book which makes the case for Jesus being radically concerned for the poor and challenging oppression. It feels the author wrote a different book and then tacked on limited references to the climate crisis in the introduction and post-script. I'm not saying the main content is irrelevant to climate change but you have to make the links yourself. Sadly it's not as useful as I had hoped in specifically addressing climate concerns, and it feels a bit mis-sold.

My Manager's Verdict

Well, my wife aka my manager (who happens to be an atheist) thinks it's an excellent and informative book. Meanwhile a rather overweight gentleman in the USA takes the view that it's an impertinent outrage. So take your pick: a wise woman or a very angry bloke. I know who I'd rather wake up next to in the morning.

not recommended

David Rhodes distorts the Biblical story beyond recognition. Just one quote: "I believe Jesus got it absolutely right about God but Paul got it significantly wrong." (p83). How arrogant. He not only contradicts orthodox Biblical teaching (which he despises anyway) but also the internal witness of the Bible itself (which he despises as well). He seems to be angry, angry with tradition, angry with Paul, angry with men etc.

Excellent book on this topical subject and delivered efficiently by Kevin Mathew
