God’s Earth: A Call for Environmental Stewardship

This program, narrated by Catholic priest, ecologist, and author, Paul Collins, presents a well-rounded, intellectual discussion of the Judeo-Christian elevation of humankind at the expense of nature and the environment. Beginning with Plato and his emphasis on the spiritual, theologians and ecologists trace the philosophy as it veers toward increasingly anthropocentric ideas. The Bible’s mandates for humans to "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it..." are discussed within the context of overpopulation and pollution. The entire discussion is presented as a philosophical, ethical, and practical challenge to modern western religions to accept their role as stewards of the environment. (57 minutes)
