Steve Bishop, An Accidental Blog, reviews at considerable length the case made by an apparently excellent book, Environmental Stewardship: Critical Perspectives - Past and Present edited by R. J. Berry (T&TClark International [ISBN 9780567030184] xii+348; £39.99).
Rather than discuss (argue with?) the book which is itself a collection of views, or with the presentation and critical observations and questions that this reformational thinker-reviewer offers, I thawt I'd just let readers know of Bishop's reflective take on this already reflective book. It may whet your appetite to get a copy for yourself. In any case, the review will go a long way in stimulating your own musings on this urgent set of concerns for the global home of humanity, God's good earth.

.................. Dooyeweerd 1959b, 127: The Philosophy of the Cosmonomic Idea: ‘… pointed out that these structure principles were only successively realized in the factual process of becoming, and that this process of becoming proceeds in the continuity of cosmic time, warranting an intermodal coherence between its modal aspects.’ [translation by MDS.]
One should carefully distinguish between evolution, being a natural process; astrophysical or biotic theories of evolution, being scientific explanations of long-term natural processes; and evolutionism, being a naturalistic ideology, trying to reduce anything to biological and ultimately to physical and chemical processes. In my view, Protestant philosophy should accept evolution as a fact and reject evolutionism as a false creed (Evolution as a religion, see Midgley 1985), whereas it should be willing to critically investigate any truly scientific theory of evolution, see part IV, Relations and Characters in Protestant Philosophy, by Marinus Dirk Stafleu.

- 69 years old; retired. I'm an American who is some 30 years Permanent Resident of Canada, living in Toronto, Ontario. I love both countries and this wonderful city. I loathe the construction of false reports like those in which Glenn Beck (Fox) traffics regarding Canada's healthcare system. I've experienced both the bad (very) and good (very), verily, verily I say unto thee, dear reader.
