Christianity is often accused of asserting humanity's dominion over
nature - an attitude that has led to so much environmental
destruction - and of viewing it as somehow 'fallen', instead of
teaching that we are merely a part of creation and that 'what we do
to the earth, we do to ourselves'. In fact, the Bible is teeming
with information about plants and biodiversity and different
animals and their behaviour, revealing that its writers, like King
Solomon and the oracle Agur, had intimate everyday knowledge of the
natural world around them and learned from it. Likewise, Jesus was
a close observer of nature and was earthed in the here and now, as
his parables show. In this book of biblical reflections botanist
Ghillean Prance draws richly from his experiences exploring the
Amazon and many other regions - from the White Mountains of Turkey
to the Hawaiian Archipelago. It is his hope that this book will
move Christians to wonder at some of the marvels of nature, and so
to treat God's creation with reverence and more respect. God's Word
is to be read not only in the Bible, but in God's 'big book'.
