Description

The Nature of Things: Rediscovering the Spiritual in God’s Creation

The Nature of Things is one of the most successful series in the history of Canadian television.

Hosted by the world-renowned geneticist and environmentalist David Suzuki, the influential program presents stories that are driven by a scientific understanding of the world. Stories full of adventure, drama and insight.

The Nature of Things entertains and inspires audiences by engaging with the people and personalities behind the science.

From the search for other life in the universe to the psychology of babies, from the furry animals that invade your backyard to the consequences of human progress, The Nature of Things throws open the door to the wonder and accomplishments of science.

The theological doctrine of the presence of God within creation has traditionally been an oft-ignored theme throughout church history, for a variety of rationale.

Perhaps, in some critical way, this has contributed to the church’s hostile posture toward the ecological crisis. But change is afoot.

To aid in reversing this, The Nature of Things exercises a sensitive and attentive eye in retrieving this lost doctrinal dimension of the church’s worship

. Kudos to Bruxton and Habel for directing such a needed and refreshingly diverse orchestra.”

–A. J. Swoboda, Pastor; Professor, George Fox Evangelical Seminary, Fuller Theological Seminary; Author of The Dusty Ones; Executive Director, Seminary Stewardship Alliance
“This book is an invaluable source for rethinking Christian theology and spirituality in relation to the natural world and evolution itself. It is a superb collection of essays by leading Christian theologians, Biblical scholars, and ethicists. Clearly one of the most important books on this subject yet to be published.”
–Mary Evelyn Tucker, Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology
