The Peaceable Kingdom Series is a multivolume series that seeks
to challenge the pervasive violence assumed necessary in relation
to humans, nonhumans, and the larger environment. By calling on the
work of ministers, activists, and scholars, we hope to provide an
accessible resource that will help Christians reflect on becoming a
more faithful and peaceable people. The series editors are Andy
Alexis-Baker and Tripp York.

"Care for creation has become marginalized in conversations
concerning the quest for justice; nevertheless, our very lives
depend on . . . respecting the earth. It is no accident that those
most likely to be disenfranchised are those who depend the most on
the earth for its survival. Hence, A Faith Encompassing All
Creation is a crucial addition to the justice discourse. By
gathering diverse voices, the reader is led to explore this crucial
issue. Our only hope is that such elucidation leads to
praxis."

"This book gets our attention. It is prophetic. For those of us who
have been soothed into 'let's be nice to creation' this is an altar
call to conversion to a radical and responsible life. We must
repent, not simply because all creation calls out to us but because
God calls."
--Kyle Childress, Austin Heights Baptist Church, Nacogdoches,
Texas
"What could be more important for Christians today than to read
A Faith Encompassing All Creation? We are in desperate need
of a vision of Christian faith that can inspire commitment and
action to save the biodiversity of our planet. This book brings
together a vibrant diversity of voices, men and women, young and
old, from various Christian traditions, all committed to love for
the Earth and all its creatures as God's good creation."
--Denis Edwards, Australian Catholic University
