- "Many Bible, called 'red-letter editions', have Jesus' direct statements printed in red. We have adapted this practice to introduce the 'green letter edition'. In it we highlight the rich and varied ways the books of the Bible speak directly to how we should think and act as we confront the environmental crisis facing our planet. As you read the Scriptures, you will see that passages speaking directly to the project's core mission are printed in green." -- Preface, p. [I-15].
- Contents include the "Green Subject Index ... [which] includes listings of Bible passages that cover such topics as animals, caring for your neighbour, land, and water. Each verse listed in this subject index is highlighted in green in the biblical text. The Green Bible Trail Guide ... a series of Bible studies on the main themes of creation care and God's role in creation .... Essays .... Where Do You Go from Here ? A resource guide provides ideas as well as organizations to partner with you as you take steps toward caring for creation". -- Preface.
