In Creation's Slavery and Liberation, Presian Burroughs literally grounds Paul's gospel message in the land. By attending to water, agriculture, and food and economic systems as these were being worked out in the Mediterranean world of his day, Burroughs gives us the tools we need to live more faithfully in our own lands and communities today. --Norman Wirzba, Duke Divinity School Although Paul's groaning creation is now proverbial in treatments of the ecological crisis that are informed by Christian Scripture, this is the first study to set that concept in its full biblical, historical, and geopolitical contexts. Burroughs works with exegetical precision and imagination, as well as sound knowledge of ancient Roman economics and the science of modern agriculture. Thus, she shows what Paul understood: the earth is the ultimate victim of the greed and failed promises of idolatrous imperial systems. --Ellen F. Davis, Duke Divinity School
