First thought on the Green Bible?


What would Jesus recycle? 

The Green Bible looks at "the Bible through the lens of the environment," reports CNN.  "In an effort to keep it true to its eco-conscious motif, it was printed in the United States on recycled paper with soy ink, and has a sustainable linen cover.  [Publisher Harper One was] hoping to capitalize on the growing trend in Christian circles of eco-theology and creation care. The Green Bible is filled with essays from across the theological spectrum as a companion to the text."

Some find the new Green Bible controversial.  "I am concerned that many who call themselves Christians, or intend to speak for Christianity, don't interpret the Bible literally," James Taylor, a church elder and Sunday-school teacher, told the Arizona Republic. "These groups don't have a religious focus; they have a desire to spread their environmental message."
