Recent years have seen a shift in the belief that a Christian world-view precludes a commitment to environmentalism. Church members have increasingly found that a strong pro-ecology stand on environmental issues is an integral component of their faith. However, not all denominations are latecomers to the issue of environmentalism. In this book Mennonite Calvin Redekop and his co-authors give an Anabaptist perspective on the environment. They explain how in rural Amish and Mennonite communities the land is considered part of the kingdom that God will establish on earth. Creation and human history are thus seen as completely interdependent.
