America has seen a steady decline in the percentage of farming individuals in the last century, so how do we maintain a connection to the land that God gave us? Dr. Ellen F. Davis—professor of Bible and practical theology at Duke University Divinity School—has come to see how the Bible could help redirect our connection to creation and how we care for it. Dr. Davis’ extensive research led her to believe that land is not merely soil, but a community of all creatures that participate in the life of that soil.   Quotes “The land, in some sense, comes first and we have to be responsible for it. That was a new way of thinking and working for me as a biblical scholar. I began reading the Bible with that view in mind, and discovered issues having to do with the well-being of the land, and how they are interconnected with human well-being.” – Dr. Ellen F. Davis “Being an agrarian means recognizing that the health, the life of human beings is not separate from the life of the land on which we live, on which we depend daily for existence. And when I speak of land, I mean not just soil, but also land as a community, all of the creatures that participate in the life of that soil.” – Dr. Ellen F. Davis “The Bible was written by people who knew their land, knew that if they did not care for it, it would not be available to their children. So they knew their land and its fragility and its infinite value. They knew that it came to them as a gift of God, and it was entrusted to them not as individuals, but as part of an intergenerational community.” – Dr. Ellen F. Davis “The good news and the source of hope is that people are more concerned about the central issues of land use and land care, sustainable food production, and destruction of habitat for animals. People are more aware and more determined to be involved in whatever kind of healing we can participate in.” – Dr. Ellen F. Davis   Guest’s Links Dr. Ellen F.
