"As an Indigenous person and one who follows the teachings of Jesus, I read this book with care. The author presents a sound theological framework for living as a caretaker of the land, with an appreciation for Indigenous wisdom from those who have lived in a reciprocal relationship with the land for millennia. Plundered addresses misbalanced systems of race and power and an extractive worldview with the hope that such systems do not dominate the power of Creation, when certain values anchored in love can help us shape sustaining life on Grandmother Earth."
Two of the world's greatest crises, systemic racism and environmental destruction, share the same origin story. The two are rooted in economic forces that exploit and oppress both people and land.
Pastor David Swanson shows how we have failed our God-given duty as caretakers of creation and how that failure has resulted in the exploitation of people and the extraction of natural resources. Racial and ecological injustice share the same root cause-greed-that turns people and the natural world into commodities that are only valued for their utility. Yet Christians have the capacity to live in a way that nurtures racial and environmental justice simultaneously, honoring people and places in dynamic relationship with our Creator God. Swanson shows how we can become communities of caretakers, the way to restore our relationship with creation and each other, and the holistic justice that can result.
