No single piece of our mental world is to be hermetically sealed off from the rest, and there is not a square inch in the whole world domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is sovereign over all, does not cry: “Mine!” Abraham Kuyper

Ecological blindspots

John Jefferson Davis, author of Evangelical Ethics (P 1993, 2nd edn), has an article - available online - in JETS: 'Ecological "blind spots" in the structure and content of recent evangelical systematic theologies'.

The purpose of this paper is to argue that certain “blind spots” in the structure and content of recent evangelical systematic theologies have contributed to the neglect of environmental issues and environmental stewardship in certain segments of the evangelical subculture. More specically, it will be argued that de˜ciencies in the doctrines of creation and the atonement in evangelical systematic theology textbooks have contributed to this problem.
