 Ron is also author of Abel Emerging: A Reconsideration of the Christian Story for a Sustainable World (Beaver's Pond Press, 2010.) The book argues for a fundamental re-framing of the Christian narrative and, in view of science and our planet's current environmental crisis, fresh understandings of sin, 
stewardship, and salvation.
