As our world desperately seeks a more inclusive story, Rude invites us to reimagine the sacred text of nature and divine wonder as a map for the human journey. This book is for anyone looking to make sense of the biblical narrative in light of the natural sciences and their own experiences. --Peg Carlson-Hoffman and Chuck Hoffman, former Executive Directors, Holden Village In the face of the unprecedented environmental crisis, Rude challenges us to amend and mend the narrative dominating Christianity for centuries. . . . He effectively lays out the need for a 'two-way street' between the sciences and the Bible leading to a world-altering view of our relationship to Nature. --Glenn Schrader, Professor of Chemical and Environmental Engineering (ret.), University of Arizona Rude challenges us to amend theology through consequential integration of cosmic and evolutionary science. . . . Reimagining the Christian narrative through the lens of Abel and Cain, we must abandon broken symbols of original sin and atonement to recenter God's mission on the sustainability of creation. --Craig L. Nessan, Academic Dean and Professor of Contextual Theology, Wartburg Theological Seminary Is there another way to live? . . . This book opens the imagination to question the stories that have shaped our species and set us on an unsustainable and destructive path. . . . Rude crafts an alternative story of God that ultimately responds with a definitive yes--there is another way to live. And not only that, but the call to live a different story is urgent for Christians who seek to be faithful to the Creator and creation. --Jen Rude, Campus Pastor, Pacific Lutheran University
