We all live with other creatures. While restacking the wood pile this morning, I awoke an adder from its cool damp sleep. I decided to let it alone and when I came back after lunch it had slithered off.
I think Richard Bauckham would approve. His aim in this collection of essays is ‘the praise of God the creator and renewer of his whole creation and an end to the war of aggressive conquest that modern humanity has waged against God's other creatures’ (p.xviii).
