Climate change is one of the most pressing moral issues of our time, and at the same time one of the most divisive. Australian authors, Claire Dawson and Mick Pope examine climate change from a Christian perspective, arguing that the science is well founded, and that Christianity is well placed to deal with the issue. After presenting the basic science and key Bible passages, Dawson and Pope reveal the economic, political and religious complicity in the present crisis. They look at stories of hope, where Christians are working out their faith in a changing climate, and finally call the reader to repentance that leads to action. This repentance means not only a change of heart and mind, but presents a clear call to deepening engagement and prayerful action in all areas of life.

Turkey, the country that straddles Europe and Asia, reflects this in the mix of cultures from both continents to be found there. The western and southern coastal areas are the most familiar to Western holidaymakers but the interior, Black Sea coast and east of the country are less visited. As Western railway enthusiasts found less and less to attract them in Europe they discovered that Turkey had steam locomotives aplenty, reflecting the fact that this was a country that had embraced Western industrialisation and modernisation ahead of most other Middle Eastern countries. This, and the shifting alliances Turkey had embraced, was also reflected in the variety of countries that had built the steam locomotives. Examples could be found from builders in Germany, Sweden, France, the United States and the United Kingdom. These varied from ancient specimens of Prussian State railway design to modern ten coupled designs built after the Second World War.Finding and photographing trains presented certain problems. Train services in this large country could be sparse, timekeeping notoriously unreliable and the roads, very often of dirt, hazardous. However, if these problems could be endured the landscape offered fantastic photographic opportunities.

For both Maximus the Confessor (c. 580-662) and Jurgen Moltmann (b. 1926), understanding what it means to be human springs from a contemplative vision of God. This comparative study explores surprising parallels between the theological anthropology of the seventh-century Byzantine monk and the contemporary German Protestant. Bingaman argues that Maximus and Moltmann root their understanding of the human calling in their Trinitarian and christological reflection, in contrast to many modern theologies that tend to devise an account of human being first, and then try to find ways in which Christ and the Trinity are somehow relevant to this human being. In this constructive work, Bingaman demonstrates the intrinsic connection between Maximus' and Moltmann's views of human being, Christ and the Trinity, the church, and the human calling in creation. Illustrating the richness of these ancient and postmodern theologies in conversation, All Things New lays out future trajectories in theological anthropology, patristic ressourcement, ecologically attuned theology and spirituality, and Orthodox-Protestant dialogue. Climate change is the most serious issue of our generation, and despite it already hitting the world's poor hard, Christians have been woefully slow to respond, often excusing their inaction with, ""Oh well, the world is ending anyway! With great stories and good humour, Mick Pope adeptly assigns this excuse to the place it belongs - the dustbin of poor theology, replacing it with a theologically insightful, empowering, and hope-giving theology of 'the renewal of all things. Christians still struggling to respond to climate change need to read this book. -Mark Delaney. author of Low Carbon and Loving It God's promise to make all things new comes at the end of the most confusing book of the Bible! But Mick helpfully unpacks what Revelation is all about (how to read it well and what it's really saying) and shows how God's final promise motivates us to live that out now - hopefully and actively. -Ruth Valerio, Director for Tearfund UK and author of L is for Lifestyle Mick Pope has a PhD in Meteorology from Monash University, and is completing a Masters in Theology at the University of Divinity.
