Review Quotes: "Dr Lin wants peace between folks who are well-intentioned but unable to agree, be they Christians or not! Peace as we wrestle with science and Scripture over our stewardship of God's beloved creation. Lin gives us well-considered ways to sift competing views and supposed facts. ... This book comes from a master teacher and irenic fellow struggler. A very important synthesis of worldview-driven, informed arguments."Terry Morrison, Director Emeritus, Faculty Ministry, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA"By carefully breaking 'environmental stewardship' down into its component parts, this book offers readers a framework to dialogue - instead of debate - the imperative of creation care. Grappling with the fact that today's ecological and economic challenges cannot be contained by a simple ideology nor a single imagination, Lin guides us toward both a practical synthesis of collective human wisdom and a higher level of conscientiousness in protecting all that which God loves."Kaleb Nyquist, Steering Committee Member, Young Evangelicals for Climate Action"[This book] succeeds in imaginatively illustrating the depth of environmental concern and the different ways in which creation care might provide solutions."-Rev'd Canon Donald C. Macdonald, Green Christian Magazine, Summer 2017"The contribution of The Nature of Environmental Stewardship to discussions surrounding environmental issues and stewardship is unique .... [since it] deconstructs debates sorrounding environmental problems rather than articulating one particular position. .... [L]in offers a refreshing opportunity to pause and consider what exactly goes into such debates. .... I would specifically recommend this book to Chirstians interested in engaging in dialogue about environmental issues in small group or one-to-one settings."- Jamie Wright, The Expository Times, Volume 129, Number 8, May 2018
