THE PURPOSE OF CREATION

'That God created all this for for His pleasure, and that they continue to exist because they please Him, is formidable doctrine indeed, as far as possible both from the "anthropocentric" utilitarianism that some environmentalist critics claim to find in the Bible and from the grouchy spirituality of many Christians.'
Wendell Berry, 'Economy and Pleasure' in What Are People For?, p.138.
