Thanks, Jim Ball …

It’s not news when progressive, post-, radical, and otherwise non-typical evangelicals speak up on behalf of the environment. And it shouldn’t be news when centrist Evangelicals do so, but sadly, too often it still is. That’s why I’m so grateful that Jim Ball has addressed climate change in his new book, Global Warming and the Risen Lord. Jim is a solid centrist Evangelical who can help uninformed and misinformed Evangelical Christians move from being part of the problem to becoming part of the solution. Along with a few other key leaders like Rich Cizik and Jonathan Merritt, Jim understands both Evangelical convictions and ecological realities. I hope and pray his book will help lead Evangelicals to become better caretakers of God’s beautiful creation, the stewardship of which is a human moral responsibility.
