Findley B. EdgeCritiques

Rated: B
Published in 1956, Edge's book is dated yet still relevant in many ways. His advise to teachers move beyond lecturing into more leaning by doing is spot on. Likewise, his encouragement not to simply teach "what" but also "how". Helped me remember better how to produce change in the individuals.

Drawing on his missionary experience in the Philippines, the author links together social and environmental problems facing the Third World and looks at these problems in the light of the Hebrew and Christian scriptures and the tradition of the churches.
A follow on to "To Care for the Earth" by the same author, this book unpacks some of the theological and pastoral implications of that appeal. It tackles issues of key topical interest - the destruction of the rainforest, the crisis of over-population, international debt from a first hand perspective and reveals how and why Christians in particular must involve themselves in dealing with this crisis.
