Can the Desert Be Green?

Our world is in peril. Environmental degradation, human suffering, and relentless calamities confront us daily, painting a picture of a planet in distress. Amid this daunting reality, how can God’s people respond effectively? This critical question beckons for a thoughtful and proactive response that intertwines faith and ecology with tangible action in our increasingly fragile world.

Hope for Creation offers a unique blend of theological insight and practical application. It gathers perspectives from theologians and practitioners, each giving a comprehensive understanding of creation care. The contributors not only diagnose environmental and humanitarian issues but also propose actionable solutions rooted in biblical foundations and contemporary experiences.

This book is a call to action for Christians and mission leaders worldwide, urging active participation in restoring and preserving our planet. It equips church leaders, missionaries, and believers with the knowledge and tools to make a meaningful impact. By embracing this mission, readers contribute to a sustainable, hopeful future, joining a transformative journey towards environmental and human healing.

Industry Reviews

Hope for Creation offers an unusual richness of biblical reflection and practical wisdom. This volume is the fruit of the unique space the KGMLF creates by bringing together Korean and international scholars in conversation with mission practitioners.

With solid biblical, theological, scientific, and practical grounding, this book compellingly challenges assumptions and offers a hopeful corrective: love of God and love of neighbor require care for God's creation of which humanity is only a part.

Hope for Creation represents a milestone in mission thinking: churches in the Global South collaborating on a series of international mission discussions and cooperation, and Christian mission now takes creation care as a major agenda.
