The Good Book Goes Green

This morning I was reading in Time mag about a new Bible being released by HarperCollins. It "calls attention to more than 1,000 verses related to nature by printing them in a pleasant shade of forest green, much as red-letter editions of the Bible encrimson the words of Jesus." I'm not quite sure what I think about this. Of course the primary message of the Bible is not about how to treat creation, but rather about the saving gospel of Christ, and I do not agree with eco-evangelist Matthew Sleeth's statement "that 'creation care'--the Christian catchphrase for nature conservancy--'is at the very core of our Christian walk.'" But is is interesting to note all the references to nature and gardening in the Bible. Find the full story here.
