A Green Bible and a Withered Fig Tree
This is the reason for what is quite possibly the saddest day in biblical studies. My only question would be, “Is the passage about Jesus’ cursing the fig tree, that withered and died, also printed in green?”
Wouldn’t a digital version have been more green?
Seriously, though – the consumerization and specialization of bibles is certainly become a sad absurdity.
That’s funny. I was thinking about that last night. Its not very green to kill trees to make paper for the Green Bible. I bet there was a lot of non-green methods used in the production and distribution of this hippie bible. At least God’s word is going out. While I am not a fan of the red letter bibles at least they focused on the person and words of the incarnate Christ. Now we are focusing on the creation. Doesn’t Romans 1 have something to say about focusing on the creation rather than on God?
