Abstract
When I saw this title in the Books Available for Review section, I thought that it would be a book about how Christians should deal with the environment. The book, however, is on that subject and more. It is a record of the proceedings of a symposium held in 1992 in Toronto, on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Institute for Christian Studies. The book began as if it had nothing to do with the environment. After an introductory chapter, the talk by J. Richard Middleton, the designated devotional speaker, appears. It is subtitled Opening Meditations For a Creation-Order Tradition. There isn't really an explanation of what that means. Since the conference was apparently attended mostly by persons in that tradition, there was probably no need for such an explanation. I gathered that a Creation-Order Tradition isn't only, or even mostly, about Christian stewardship of the environment. I think Creation-Order Tradition is like a Natural Law Tradition.
