Download or read book Apocalyptic Ecology written by Micah D. Kiel and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of the book of Revelation struggled, as we do today, to live out a Christian faith in the context of an empire that trampled and destroyed the earth and its creatures. In this book, Micah D. Kiel will look at how and why Revelation was written, along with how it has been interpreted across the centuries, to come to an understanding of its potential contribution to a modern environmental ethic. While the book of Revelation is replete with images of destruction of the earth, Kiel shows readers, through Revelation's ancient context, a message of hope that calls for the care of and respect for the environment.
