Prospects for Growth: A Biblical View of Population, Resources, and the Future

Does the world face a crisis of overpopulation? Are we headed for “standing room only” on our little planet? Are we using up all the earth’s resources and poisoning the planet while we’re at it? Would we be better off with fewer of us? Building on the foundation of Biblical worldview, theology, and ethics, Dr. E. Calvin Beisner brings together convincing scientific, economic, and ecological facts to answer a resounding “No!” to each of these questions. This book presents reasons to celebrate population growth, not mourn it, and shows that it’s compatible with enhancing the fruitfulness, safety, and beauty of the earth.
