The new “Green Bible” from HarperOne is printed on recycled paper with soy-based ink. It features biblical passages about protecting the earth highlighted in green letters. And, as the Arizona Republic reports, it is causing a bit of a dust-up among religious groups.
On the “pro” side of the equation: the “Creation Care” movement, a growing group of Christians who promote environmental causes.
On the “anti” side: more conservative Christians who reject environmentalism because they associate it with liberal politics.
HarperOne’s president said he hoped to stimulate discussion by publishing the Green Bible, after noticing increased momentum in the Creation Care movement.
He seems to have guessed right. Within weeks of the book hitting store shelves in October, the Republic says, the first 25,000 copies sold out.
I understand it makes great mulch.
