Dr. Sandra Richter—the Robert H. Gundry Chair of Biblical Studies at Westmont College—explores the foundations of environmental theology through a biblical lens, highlighting key scriptural themes such as dominion, stewardship, and the ethical treatment of creation found in both Old and New Testament teachings. Dr. Richter addresses the Church’s confusion and paralysis regarding environmental responsibility and calls for urgent spiritual and cultural transformation. She explains the biblical promise of the resurrection and renewal of the earth as central to faithful Christian living, challenging believers to embrace their role as stewards of creation and to lead the Church as a transformative force for environmental care.
