About the book >.>.> We live in a world in which men are exploiting nature with potentially disastrous results. The assumption behind this book is that behaviour is the outcome of attitudes and these are deter- mined by beliefs. The crisis of the environment is therefore at root religious. While this book does not neglect the claims of Marxists scientific humanists and the great world religions it sets forth a unifying vision of the Christian world order in which man is related both to his work and to nature. Creation salvation sanctification baptism the Last Things – these theological code-words so often redolent of individualist piety are made directly relevant to man’s present responsibility for the whole created order. In the nine essays in this book these themes are explored at greater depth while the first part – the cor- porate work of a group of Church of England scholars – outlines an exciting theology of man in his environment which takes full account both of the Church’s wisdom enshrined in Bible and tradition and also of science and technology in the modern world.
