Episode 27 looks at chapter 39, where we are faced with a totally new topic: harmony with the environment and the devastating effects of disturbing that harmony. This episode focuses on the Christian Bible much more than any I have done before, in order to demonstrate that love and care for the environment is deeply rooted in the Old Testament, no matter how surprising this may be for some people.

In this episode, I start by lamenting the fact that much of recent church history has neglected or even rejected efforts to care for the environment.

The rest of the content follows this outline:

1. Environmental awareness isn't just a practical matter - it's a spiritual one
2. A litany of Scriptures showing God's care for the environment
3. Developing "ecological virtue"
4. Idealism and utopianism - is it responsible?
5. A reading from Greta Thurnberg on the ecological crisis
