An inspiring celebration of God in relation to His world. Even though we moderns--largely an urbanized population--have practically become strangers to the natural world, we still yearn to be more connected to the natural realm, God's creation. Partly because the Christian church has not preached and taught a whole theology that clearly explains God's connection to the cosmos, a number of "alien faiths" are rushing in to fill the void.

About the Author:

Achtemeier is a renowned Old Testament scholar who is familiar throughout the U.S. and Canada as a preacher, teacher, and writer. She is an ordained Presbyterian minister and is retired after 40 years of teaching.

From Library Journal:

Achtemeier addresses herself primarily but not exclusively to preachers as she discusses the biblical picture of God's relationship to creation: divine transcendence; human gloriousness yet contingent, fallen existence; and God's ultimate victory over evil, darkness, chaos, and death. She discusses why preachers need to reassert the biblical view against nature religion and provides five sample sermons and two sample meditations based on biblical texts. Highly recommended for seminary libraries.
