Synopsis

The Bible is an inconvenient tex! There are passages that are 'grey' rather than 'green'. These passages dpict God or humans destroying or devaluing parts of creation. What if we dare to read these 'grey texts from the perspective of the victims—Earth ans the domains of Earth? How then would we relate to these de-valued parts of creation? And, how does this Gospel contribute to resolving this dilemna? Norm Habel has taught Old Tesatment in Australia, the USA and India. He has written major commentaries on the Book of Job, is editor of the Shefield press, Earth Bible Series.
