Saving Planet Earth is a short introduction to green issues for Christians. The author, Colin Russell, is a historian who wants to persuade Christians of the importance of green issues. He writes particularly for people ‘who are newly aware of the environment’ and ‘who are not experts’. He often seems to have an older generation in mind.
Prof. Russell says that he tried hard ‘to avoid an “academic” style of writing’ and to make his book readable, and he largely succeeds on both counts. So this is not a book laden with diagrams or technical language; instead he tells stories to support his claims.
