Description
Summary:Ten years ago Gordon College ecologist Dorothy Boorse called for submissions to Perspectives on Science and Christian Faith in recognition of the many new findings in environmental science. (1) This ever-increasing knowledge of the environment, while, simultaneously, environmental change is occurring as part of the "Great Acceleration," was said to alert humanity that the new Anthropocene age is upon us. (2) A decade on from Boorse's invitation, I likewise invite Christian scholars to encourage believers to put Christian faith into action in the face of Anthropocene-level challenges and with the promise of reconciliation ecology.
