Schaeffer#x19;s classic outlines a theology of ecology,arguing for a renewed understanding of the creation account and areturn to the biblical mandate of godly stewardship. At the creation of the world, God gave mankind theresponsibility to exercise dominion over the earth. Man was to usethe earth and its abundance of resources to satisfy his physicalneeds, but he was also to care for the earth and its creatures as awise and godly steward. Reading about endangered species or anotheroil spill will make it abundantly clear that the human race hasfailed miserably in its God-given mandate. How did we get to thispoint? Where should we go from here? This classic by Francis Schaeffer, now repackaged, looks atcontemporary ecological crises through the lens of theology andScripture. Renowned for his work in applied philosophy andtheology, Schaeffer answers serious philosophical questions aboutcreation and ecology. He concludes that we must return to aprofoundly and radically biblical understanding of God#x19;srelationship to the earth, and of our divine mandate to exercisegodly dominion over it. Repackaged and republished, Pollutionand the Death of Mancarries an important and relevant messagefor our day.
