Today, on my way to work, I was enjoying a program on my satelitte radio that I often listen to on the way to work. It was on the Catholic Network and is called “The Catholics Next Door.” Anyways, this morning I heard about something I found quite interesting. This week a new Bible is being released. It is called the Green Bible.
Here is an exert from the Green Bible website:
“About The Green Bible
The Green Bible is the definitive movement Bible that shows that God is green and how we can care for and protect God’s creation.
Featuring:
- Green-Letter Edition: Verses and passages that speak to God’s care for creation highlighted in green
- Foreword by Archbishop Desmond Tutu
- Essays by Brian McLaren, Cal DeWitt, Barbara Brown Taylor, Pope John Paul II, Ellen Davis, N. T. Wright, Ellen Bernstein, Matthew Sleeth, James Jones, and Gordon Aeschliman
- Inspirational quotes from Christian teachings throughout the ages
- A green Bible topical index
- A personal green Bible trail study guide
- An appendix with information on further reading, how to get involved, and practical steps to take
- Recycled paper, using soy-based ink with a cotton/linen cover “
I think I may just have to get myself one of these to see it for myself! It definitely is interesting, though I wonder if there is a slight marketing plan behind it.
FOR SURE! Hey, but God can use it to help Christians see it is part of our faith to care for creation.
