Northcott constructs a new political theology of climate change
that acknowledges the role of borders in the constitution of the
nations, and their providential ordering under God as assemblies of
persons who recognise particular duties to each other within those
borders.
Bob White, a geophysicist, tackles one of the biggest conundrums
in Christian thinking. He combines a profound knowledge of the
science behind natural processes with thorough research into their
impact, and underpins it with a carefully reasoned theological
response.
Examining each type of disaster in turn, he illuminates the way
in which human factors almost always turn natural processes,
without which the earth would be sterile and uninhabitable, into
disasters: population growth, widespread inequality, foolish
farming and building practices, and climate change all contribute,
exacerbating heat waves, famines, and droughts.
He then outlines the insights that Jacob, Job, and Jesus offer.
This highly readable book is permeated with engaging insights into
the human condition and the biblical response.
Senior adult ministry isn't what it used to be. The comfortable
assumptions and outdated programs that were the basis for local
church ministry are being challenged. Baby boomers are hitting
middle age and retirement. And their own parents are living longer.
Authors Win and Charles Arn have updated and supplemented Catch the
Age Wave with ideas, examples and advice to help the local church
leader start and maintain a senior adult program. In addition, they
have added practical program ideas to use in any local church
setting. New challenges for a new day. Catch the Age Wave won't let
you miss the boat.
