The Bible is an inconvenient text. There are passages that are 'grey' rather than 'green'. These passages depict God or humans destroying or devaluing parts of creation. What if we dare to read these 'grey texts' from the perspective of the victims - Earth and the domains of Earth? How then would we relate to these de-valued parts of creation? And, how does this Gospel contribute to resolving this dilemma? Norm Habel has taught Old Tesatment in Australia, the USA and India. He has written major commentaries on the Book of Job and is editor of the Sheffield Press' Earth Bible Series.

Norm Habel is an Australian, an Earth child and a Lutheran who has survived accusations of heresy many times in his life.Why on Earth are you still a Lutheran? is not quite an autobiography. After all, Habel is many more things than a Lutheran "" a family man, a social justice advocate, an amateur ecologist and a poet "" but still a Lutheran. The scenes from his experiences are not an effort to define being a Lutheran in any official or unofficial sense. Rather, in telling his story, he searches for that elusive something that persists in his faith "" the mystery behind the Lutheran jargon that has cluttered his world and battered his brain. For Norm Habel, Lutheran wisdom means reading life from a distance, reading the landscape as a sacred text, and reading the Sacred Text without biased biblical blinkers. He invites you to follow his journey, to explore anew the complex question of identity "" whether you are an Australian farmer or a Brooklyn pastor, a politician from PNG or a Dalit from India.

This book is a reprint of key sermons by Rev. Charles Strong who founded the Australian Church in 1885 after being accused of heresy relating to the atonement. Strong was a pioneer progressive, outlining an understanding of the Christian religion that was a hundred years ahead of the current progressive Christian movement in Australia. His goal, he said, was to Re-interpret Christianity in the light of modern knowledge, the principles of development, and the spirit of religion as distinguished from the letter; to re-interpret Christianity just as Copernicus and Galileo re-interpreted astronomy. Strong's focus was on knowing the Spirit as a universal all-animating Spirit, an eternal and deep dimension of reality within humans as well as nature. The Kingdom of God is really the Kingdom of Love; love is the force of God at work in humans to change society. This volume reprints five sermons published originally in 1894, sermons which re ect his progressive approach to spirituality and faith. Norman Habel has done more than anyone else to keep the courage, honesty, and scholarship of 19th century 'progressive' Charles Strong before the public. Thanks to this important edited collection of some of Strong's sermons his task has now become much easier. May it be widely read and appreciated...
