In today’s episode, I am joined by Dr. Dennis Hollinger to talk about his new book entitled Creation and Christian Ethics: Understanding God’s Designs for Humanity and the Worldfrom Baker Academic. Today, we discuss how creation speaks to the foundations of the Christian ethic and how we might recover a richer vision of humanity in light of God’s creation.
