As one who did a Th.M. thesis on the pro-gay hermeneutic used in Leviticus 18:22 & 20:13, I was interested in Peterson's book. I downloaded it last week and read through it. The content is great and well thought out and irenically but firmly handled without apology! The only issue I have with the book is not the content itself but the fact that whoever digitized the book into E-book format did a horrendous job. The biblical citations are a complete mess with numerous numbers and zeros so that many of the citations cannot be made out. Then there are large sections of blue text that highlight the Scripture citation(s) that are listed every time you run the curser over the text. Highlighting these secitions is nearly impossible. The blue should only be reserved for the citations, not the text. I wrote Logos and they informed me that since this is an e-book it is the publishers issue, not Logos' . I can highly recommend the book but not in its current e-book format on Logos. If the publisher sorts the mess out, then by all means buy the book!

My own investigation into this issue over the last 12 years has convinced me that many evangelicals have drunk the secular kool aid on environmental issues like climate change. In the process they have reversed the order of the creation whereby humanity is subservient to creation rather than exercising dominion. This work appears to be no different than the others that have just baptized the secular PC worldview on climate "change" and tried to justify it on the basis Scripture--never mind satellite temps have not budged in almost 19 years, the arctic has been expanding over the last 3 years, sea levels aren't rising as fast as we were told, the Antarctic has all time high ice levels. While man has a duty to wisely manage the earth's resources God has graciously given, it simply will not do for evangelicals to retreat to the standard Malthusian position on the environment as if the sky is falling for the final time. Be that as it may, I will order the book to see how the authors approach the subject as part of my continuing study of the issue. I highly recommend the work of E. Calvin Beisner from Cornwall Alliance on this issue. His articles are extremely well informed, well reasoned, and gracious in tone. Beisner is simply the most informed evangelical on this issue: http://www.cornwallalliance.org/
