When Earth Means Earth & Land Means Land: Scripture from Creation-Friendly Eyes
Creation Care Virtual Summit
•
42m
The Bible is filled with references to creation (or nature), but many are not fully appreciated because we don’t have eyes to see. Widely held assumptions (especially in northern industrialized nations) can block our view. This workshop will challenge us to re-examine some of our basic assumptions about biblical teaching, literary imagery, the nature of God, etc. which often impede a fuller understanding of the Bible's presentation of nature.
Led by Laurie Braaten - Nazarene Scholar, Author, Ecological Biblical Studies
NOTE: The first 10 minutes of the presentation were not recorded.
