Fundamental to the question of whether Christians should take care of God's creation is if the earth serves any ultimate purpose.  Do we hope to be ushered away from the earth, in which case we should see it as disposable, or is our hope for something else?   In this episode Dale explores how different understandings of the Christian gospel influence our penchant for or against environmental stewardship.  

The book Surprised by Hope, by N.T. Wright is mentioned in this episode.  It is an outstanding resource describing different understandings of the gospel from the perspective of history, theology and the Bible.  Link to the book on Amazon https://amzn.to/3aynIf8
