The Bible has gone green.
It is already the most popular book on earth, and now there is a green Bible. It is printed on recycled paper with a soy-based ink, and the 1,000 or so passages that reference the earth or the environment in the good book are highlighted in the colour green.

The edition includes essays by theological leaders such as the late Pope John Paul II and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

But perhaps the most accessible introduction to this Green Bible comes from University of Wisconsin biologist and evangelical apostle Calvin DeWitt. His essay is entitled "Reading the Bible Through a Green Lens." God, says Professor DeWitt, calls on us to care for his creation.
