Synopsis
Global sustainability in the 21st century seems to be an elusive goal. There are too many issues, too many problems—and, increasingly, too many people—to make the major changes required in the time various experts tell us we have left before it's too late.
To create a sustainable future, we need to change the game itself. We cannot simply try to solve our problems one at a time. Instead, we need to reimagine sustainability in all its dimensions—social, cultural, environmental and economic—to create a global system that reflects how we should be living together, one that generates both hope and possibility.
In this thought-provoking work, Peter Denton argues that the attitudes and values associated with the economics of exchange are in part to blame for our current situation. We need to rediscover what it means to live in a universe of relations, not merely in one that can be counted and measured. The more we are able to replace an economy based on transactions with an ecology based on gifts, the more likely a sustainable future becomes for all of Earth's children.

Hardback. Condition: Good. With the Assemblies of God now over a century old, this book takes a fresh look at critical issues in the AG's origins. While not a comprehensive retelling, this book is a series of essays that explore different historiographical issues that will clarify or correct historical narratives with new research. Topics include re-examining the early relationship with the Church of God in Christ, assessing the AG's evangelical identity, and attitudes toward theology and education. Some three decades since the last AG history, this volume will shed new light on these important theological and cultural issues to better understand its roots. Perhaps these conversations will help the AG better understand its history as the fellowship approaches the problems it faces today. Seller Inventory # 00101836891
