Is stewardship a useful way of regarding our relationship with our
environment - or is it a dangerous excuse for plunder? Is it
possible for us to be effective stewards? Or are we irrelevant
parasites? Or foolish virgins unprepared for the Master's return?
The notion that God has appointed us to care for creation has a
long history and has been taken over into secular thinking. But can
we be responsible for something if we do not acknowledge an Owner?
This book gathers together classical expositions of stewardship
with criticisms of the concept and adds other contributions written
especially for this collection, linked by a critical commentary
from the editor, R. J. Berry. The authors include both religious
thinkers and practical conservationists. The questions faced were
sparked by a conference of scientists and theologians organized by
the John Ray Initiative and continued in a consultation at St
George's House, Windsor Castle, with papers from Robin Attfield
(philosopher), Murray Rae (theologian), Calvin DeWitt
(environmental biologist), and Jim Lovelock (biogeochemist). The
essays presented here are not simply an intellectual pastiche; they
are a distillation of ideas to challenge us how to treat our
environment - whether or not we call it 'Creation'.
