Synopsis: "The Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground .
. ." (Gen 2:7). Made of dust, we humans are thoroughly physical
beings. We are dusty earthlings. As such, we are also ecological
beings, or rather eco-physical beings, firmly embedded in and
dependent upon God's earthly ecosystems that support and provide
for us and constitute our earthly home. Today we are living in ways
that are damaging our home. As Christian dusty earthlings, we are
called to oversee God's earthly creation and to follow Jesus
Christ--God incarnated as a dusty earthling. How do we do this in
the face of the array of ecological problems we face today? How can
we obey the ecological principles and limits that govern all of
life on God's good earth? I suggest that the virtues of humility,
voluntary self-limitation, and the principles of kenosis and
justice will help as we seek to follow Jesus as dusty earthlings in
today's world. Endorsements: "Christianity implies two great truths
about humans: we are unique within creation and we are embedded
members of it. Human dignity has been grounded in the first; human
survival may now hinge on embracing the second. Dusty Earthlings is
a prophetic call for precisely such a paradigm shift in our
self-understanding--one that is faithful to the Scriptures,
resonant with science, and crucial to a viable future." --Glen G.
Scorgie, Professor of Theology, Bethel Seminary "Mustol has
unfolded, with a physician's insight, the richness--and crucial
import for our time--of the biblical teaching that we share our
dusty, creaturely status with the whole earth. At the same time, he
expounds brilliantly on what it means to be made in the image of
God. I will not teach another class on earthkeeping without
requiring or recommending this splendid book. It is thorough,
careful, brilliantly researched, readable, and very wise." --Loren
Wilkinson, Professor of Interdisciplinary Studies, Regent College
Author Biography: John Mustol is a retired physician and PhD
candidate at Fuller Theological Seminary. He is currently an
adjunct faculty member at Bethel San Diego.
