For three seasons, I interviewed people from a variety of fields--biology, art, farming, theology, environmental history, community organization, and more--to talk about how the refugia concept might be meaningful for them. So many great guests! Season 3 emphasizes the theme of "refugia church."

By Thomas Berry. A prophetic work by a Catholic “geologian” that still feels entirely relevant.

By H. Paul Santmire. An extremely useful, helpfully analytical survey of Christian theological reflection on the earth, emphasizing the mainstream “Western” tradition from Irenaeus to Barth.

By Richard Bauckham. A delightfully readable work that works from scripture to establish some theological basics. Includes a nice chapter on Jesus and the animals.  Bauckham is an Anglican New Testament scholar.

Edited by David Paul Warners and Michael Kuperus Heun. Aimed at Christian laypeople and young adults, this series of essays draws from a number of academic disciplines to consider where the concept of “stewardship” may be inadequate and how to move beyond it.
