Download or read book The Greenie's Guide to the End of the World written by Theodore McCall and published by ATF Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is an old fundamentalist argument that the world will eventually be destroyed in the Apocalypse, so there is no point in caring for it. When one reads about the delicate balance of the first moments of the cosmos, one can only marvel at the process which brought about the existence of the earth and the creatures that inhabit it. One of Theo McCall's joys in life is cycling. He lives in the city of Adelaide, South Australia, a perfect city for cycling. When he first began this project, once or twice a week he would cycle in the early morning. The last part of the return trip would involve riding eastwards into the rising sun. Whenever he felt the warmth of the sun on his face and was aware of its sheer power and energy, he was convinced that the universe is an overwhelmingly beautiful place, which God would never abandon or destroy. It is with this complete faith in God's love for creation that he set out to write an account of how this creation, with all its beauty and fragility, as well as its flaws and scars, might be transformed into God's new creation. Given the ecological crisis that we face, how can we meaningfully talk about the consummation of all things, without removing the impetus for ecological action? In other words, is it possible to develop an ecological eschatology?
