Abstract
Al Truesdale has raised some significant and worthwhile questions in his paper, "Last Things First: The Impact of Eschatology on Ecology" (PSCF, June 1994, p. 116-122). One question many of us probably have not well considered is whether our particular brand of evangelical theology significantly influences our attitude toward care of the earth. Truesdale believes that it does. The thrust of his argument is that those evangelicals with premillennial convictions have abdicated their responsibility towards the environment by subscribing to a belief in an earth under a sentence of destruction at the imminent return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
