Environmental Stewardship in the Judeo-Christian Tradition

I am in the middle of the Protestant chapter of Environmental Stewardship in the Judeo-Christian Tradition. This was published by the Acton Institute and contains four sections. The first section is The Cornwall Declaration on Environmental Stewardship. The next three sections are essays from Jewish, Catholic, and Protestant perspectives on environmental stewardship.

The Protestant section starts out with the Theological foundations of environmental stewardship. It then goes on to show the ethical reasons for stewardship. It is a well referenced essay with both biblical references, and 77 footnotes of research and publications.

This essay had six editors, four of whom are professors at colleges and seminaries. Just reading through quickly can be done, but I will want to go back and follow some of the biblical references, which is how I recommend other's read it, too.
