New for the green-minded Christians out there, "The Green Bible" is available from publisher HarperOne.
"The Green Bible" (using the New Revised Standard Version) highlights Scriptural passages related to "creation care" in green, soy-based ink. Its pages are 10 percent recycled paper.
Archbishop Desmond Tutu provided the forward. Green-themed supplementary writings include essays by Brian McLaren, N.T. Wright and St. Francis of Assisi, among other scholars and leaders.
Several of the essays reference the Genesis verse in which God gives humanity "dominion" over the earth -- a directive that many faith-minded environmentalists interpret as "stewardship." Others folks argue that neglecting the Earth violates Jesus' call to care for the least among us.
