Dealing with Difficult Biblical Texts
Reverend Andrew Black takes head-on the difficult Biblical texts related to creation and our role and relationship with the environment. Through sound biblical interpretation and thoughtful reimagination, Rev. Black calls us to move from a dominance to interdependence and royal responsibility in caring for God’s good creation. This video is intended to help faith leaders and congregations wrestle with these challenging texts that have historically been subject to misinterpretation and find new ways to move forward in understanding the Bible and our role as stewards of creation.
Nature Your Soul: The Call for a New Earth Ethic
In this dynamic sermon, Rev. Black lifts up the healing effects of nature while calling for spiritual leaders and faith communities to create and shape a New Earth Ethic. This ethic requires us to take challenging biblical texts head on, confront difficult scientific truths about the state of our environment and ultimately move forward in hope as we join the creator in responsible stewardship of creation and the healing of our world as we live into this new ethic!
