What is Creation Care and the Gospel?

Creation Care and the Gospel is an introductory primer written for church leaders and small groups that are interested in learning more about how creation care is a necessary part of Christian discipleship, and how to live out creation care as individual Christians and in the life of the church. It aims to provide Christians with the required theological and practical insights to meaningfully engage with creation care as part of daily discipleship.

Join us on 23 September from 10am to 12pm at Katong Presbyterian Church as we celebrate the launch of the first book in the ARM series, Creation Care and the Gospel!

Book Outline

Chapters 1 and 2 (Ps Leow Wen Pin) provide a biblical theology of creation care in relation to the gospel. Chapter 1 focuses on the Old Testament, while Chapter 2 on the New Testament. Chapter 3 (Mr Dennis Tan) focuses on creation care in the life of the individual Christian. Chapter 4 (Rev Lam Kuo Yung) covers creation care in the life of the local church.

Each chapter ends with a set of questions for further reflection (either individually or in small groups). An appendix with additional creation care resources concludes the guide.

“I greatly enjoyed reading this brief introduction to creation care, and warmly commend it to others. It appeals to head, heart and hands, with clear and helpful biblical foundations, some delightful lessons in creation care discipleship from Singapore wildlife, and a pastor’s practical call to action for churches. Creation care is not only topical. It is also deeply biblical, and I pray that this booklet will inspire many to let Jesus be the Lord of their relationship with the natural world. I also hope it will help Creation Care Singapore go from strength to strength! Read it, reflect on it, respond to it!”

"Creation Care and the Gospel is an easy-to-read primer for those looking to integrate creation care into their daily lives. It is filled with biblical and practical insights for both the individual and the local church. From Wen Pin’s highlights of ‘creation in the gospel’ from Genesis to Revelation; to Dennis’ lessons from specific creatures for the individual; to Kuo Yung’s head-heart-hand approach to creation care for the local church, readers are inspired to take thoughtful actions while remaining grounded in biblical truth. May this primer help spark deeper engagement in this significant Christian discipleship issue."
