These weaknesses, however, pale in comparison to the strengths. A paradigm shift is needed, and it can only come from solid exegesis of Scripture and a confrontation with all the biblical evidence. Bauckham's book offers that and for this reason is a necessary resource for the church to become what it is meant to be. Much commends Bauckham's work. With a solid biblical foundation, he succinctly and securely places humanity in its proper place and role within creation. For those seeking to hear a holistic and inclusive narrative about the community of creation, Bauckham provides a welcomed biblical overview. Despite these minor shortcomings, the book would be stimulating for preachers and fruitful for Bible study groups.
Richard Bauckham embarks on a biblical investigation into the relationship between human beings and the rest of creation. Bauckham argues that there is much more to the Bible's understanding of this relationship than the mandate of human dominion given in Genesis 1--which, he writes, has too often been used as a justification for domination and exploitation of the earth's resources. Instead, Bauckham considers the ecological perspectives found in the book of Job, the Psalms, and the Gospels, all of which, he determines, require a re-evaluation of the biblical tradition of "dominion." Bauckham discovers a tradition of a "community of creation" in which human beings are fellow members with God's other creatures and true reconciliation to God involves the entire creation. --From publisher's description.
