The question of how humans should relate to the environment is one of the pressing issues of our generation. Climate change and biodiversity loss regularly make the headlines, and spark heated debates across society. As Christians, we need to develop a biblical understanding of creation, both to find out how we should personally respond to environmental crises, but also to be able to engage with the questions of people around us. In this talk, we look at what the Bible says about the relationship between God, humans, and nature and how this relates to what we know from recent developments in environmental science. This helps us to understand the problems that we face, the responsibility that we have, and the hope that we can share.
