Going green with God, part two

Add comment October 3rd, 2008

Yesterday, I wrote about churches caring for the Earth in accordance with the Scriptures.

What a coincidence. Last night, I saw a story about a green Bible made with recycled paper and soy ink.

Now there is a Bible trying to make gardeners of us all. On Oct. 7, HarperCollins is releasing The Green Bible, a Scripture for the Prius age that calls attention to more than 1,000 verses related to nature by printing them in a pleasant shade of forest green, much as red-letter editions of the Bible encrimson the words of Jesus. The new version’s message, states an introduction by Evangelical eco-activist J. Matthew Sleeth, is that “creation care”–the Christian catchphrase for nature conservancy–”is at the very core of our Christian walk.”
