The Catchup V.1

Here's another word from our "green" friends...(now it's the good word....did you hear that Jesus's words are going to be printed in green ink?.....just kidding)


HarperOne releases Green Bible.

HarperOne announced it will release The Green Bible (NRSV) in Fall 2008. The Green Bible will specifically focus on creation care, with input from leading Christian conservationists, theologians, and practitioners.

“The Bible carries an important message about caring for the earth,” said Mark Tauber, VP and deputy publisher of HarperOne. “Going green has become a top concern among many Christians as they begin to see protecting all of creation as a biblical obligation. Our Green Bible offers them a new lens to identify how caring for creation comes right out of the Scriptures.”

This green-letter edition of the Bible will highlight verses and passages focused on creation care. It will includes a series of essays by leading thinkers, teachers and writers, as well as a comprehensive “green trail guide,” through Scripture, a survey of Christian historical figures and their approach to creation care, and a green concordance and resource guide.

The Green Bible will be produced using environmentally sensitive materials including special paper and covers.
