The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series offers a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook’s immediate narration of the book’s text, Creation Treatment: Sound Lectures includes top quality live-recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject matter as well as relevant materials from other resources.

The obvious damage that humans are inflicting on the created world as well as the growing scientific consensus that humankind is about Creation Care: Audio Lectures: A Biblical Theology of the Natural World contributing measurably to the potentially devastating ramifications of global warming have thrust the ‘environment’ to the forefront of political and social issues. However most evangelicals, including leaders and pastors, absence the theological basis needed to respond biblically to these issues. Many of the theological assessments currently offered suffer from theological and/or hermeneutical biases that render them unpalatable or inaccessible to evangelicals. Moreover, few of the theological treatments interact capably with technological data.

Creation Care: Audio Lectures, presented by scholars Douglas and Jonathan Moo, grounds theological reflection in the created world in scriptural exegesis and applies biblical concepts to the current situation seeing that described from the consensus of scientific investigators. Lessons trace several key biblical designs through Scripture in an effort to situate the made world within biblical theology. Specific designs that receive interest include:

the value and status assigned to non-human creationthe relationship of creation to redemptionthe place of human beings within creationthe understanding of and significance assigned to the property in Aged Testament law and prophecythe future of the created world envisaged by the New TestamentCreation Care: Sound Lectures offers practical reflections over the biblical mandate that God’s people embody God’s perspective within the created world; in addition they consider how the command to love others might have an effect on just how we treat the planet earth upon which all life is dependent. Overall, Jonathan and Douglas seek to recapture the joy portrayed from the Psalmists in God’s great creation while also giving serious focus on risks facing creation.
