Editorial Reviews

In 1830 there were one billion people inhabiting the earth:

in 1930 - 2 billion

in 1960 - 3 billion

in 1975 - 4 billion

in 1990 - 5 billion

By the year 2000, there will be six billion people on the planet. By the end of the twenty-first century, the number of people could reach 14 billion.

Ninety percent of growth is taking place in developing countries.

People of faith, it's about time.

Now is the time for people of faith to take action to help slow the rapid rate of population growth. Such action is the only way to alleviate the suffering caused by too many people demanding too much from the increasingly fragile earth.

Slowing population growth will help solve the worldwide problems of hunger, poverty, violence, inadequate health care, urban decay, underdevelopment, depletion of natural resources, including clean water, and environmental pollution.

Richard McHale of the National Council for International Health has this to say about Population & People of Faith: It's About Time:

"An excellent tool for educating the average American citizen on the urgency of controlling population growth."

Completely revised and updated in 1999!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Facts About Overpopulation from a Biblical Perspective, May 10, 2000

By 

Spence Hackney (Chapel Hill, NC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Population and People of Faith : It's About Time [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Population and People of Faith, Its About Time does and exceptional job at the arduous task of presenting unbiased information about overpopulation to the Christian audience. The Institute for Development Training has created a video that breaks out of the stereotypes of Christian thought on overpopulation and delves down to what the Bible says about this issue. Before this video, I considered overpopulation to be an issue that was of no special concern to Christians. From this video I understand just how vital population issues are to Christian beliefs. I would highly recommend this video and study guide for individuals, churches, study groups, and organizations who deal with, or are interested in, overpopulation and Christian issues.
