I take students to the arrangement of the beginning of Genesis, where in the Hebrew Bible, it doesn't end with the domination of humankind over creation, ruling over dominion. It ends with the Sabbath, the chapter one ends with a Sabbath. So, it's gotten humans resting together. So, it's a very different picture from sort of humans now being released to run around with chainsaws and bulldozers or whatever and rule over the thing. It's rather a picture of coming to this place of resting in the creation, resting in the presence of the Creator, this quietness of spirit. And I think that the Scriptures begin there and then from there lay a foundation around what it is to be lovers and keepers of the earth that God has entrusted to us.

In this interview you will hear Mark Buchanan (Associate Professor, Pastoral Theology, Ambrose University, Calgary, Alberta) and Rev. Dr. Andrew Stirling (Ambassador, Canadian Bible Society) talk about the influence of Scripture in Mark’s life. Mark discusses his faith and talks about his relationship with the Bible, how his first encounter with Christ had a lasting impact on him, and how there is something in the Scriptures that speaks directly to every situation, every heartache, every doubt and every fear.
