Editorial Reviews

Not everybody agrees that the increase in global temperature is significant or human-induced or will necessarily lead to catastrophic climate change. Adaptation rather than mitigation may be the best and most biblically sound approach, particularly when the supporters of mitigation are advocating greater government control over industry and CO2 emissions. Union University sponsored a formal debate on the issue between two premier scholars. On one side is Dr. David P. Gushee, Graves Professor of Moral Philosophy and one of the drafters of the ECI. On the other is Dr. E. Calvin Beisner, one of the authors of "A Call to Truth, Prudence, and Protection of the Poor: An Evangelical Response to Global Warming" and associate professor of historical theology and social ethics at Knox Theological Seminary. He is also one of the founders of The Interfaith Stewardship Alliance - a leading advocacy group for Biblically based environmental stewardship using sound science and economics and putting humanity's needs, especially those of the poor, first.

2.0 out of 5 stars Global Warming a hoax? Maybe or maybe not. This DVD is a hoax., December 21, 2007

This review is from: Global Warming: A Formal Debate (DVD)

Just read the product description. You will quickly discover the bias toward Dr. Beisner. If you are still up for it, watch the intriquing debate and you will discover how Gushee is often called on time while Beisner is able to further his thoughts. Also, an objective observation will reveal that the two sides have many points that they agree on.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very slow & painful to get through, August 13, 2007

This review is from: Global Warming: A Formal Debate (DVD)

I was very impressed by how neutral the presentation was. To the point that the case for global warming was suppressed, and the poor guy trying to debate against it given free reign. Other than that- it was dry & difficult to get through. Everything else I've seen on the subject was better.

This review is from: Global Warming: A Formal Debate (DVD)

"Anyone who wants a crash course on this issue - one that is growing in importance on an almost daily basis - needs to watch this fascinating debate. ...theology, science and razor-sharp rhetorical skills are all on prominent display. And most importantly, there is a thoughtful and rigorous discussion concerning our responsibilities as advocates for the poor, for future generations and for our miraculous garden planet." Jerry Johnson; Director of The Apologetics Group
