Biblical Environmental Protection: Seven Keys for Christian Leaders

This thesis project examines Christian environmentalism and espouses the need for the principles of environmental stewardship to be fanned into flame among Christians through the ministry and influence of Christian leaders. It has become apparent that America and the rest of the world face an environmental crisis as is reflected by climate change, high air and water pollution, land and habitat degradation, depletion of forests and issues of waste management. However, this reality has not been matched by a corresponding level of practical action and activism to protect and restore the environment in Christian circles. This thesis project will provide a framework for Christian leaders to influence and motivate their congregants and members towards active biblical environmentalism that reveals obedience to God and addresses current environmental threats
