The Implications of the Immanence of God in Genesis 1:1-2 for Rectification of Environmental Crises in Owerri West Local Government Area

Abstract

Several authors claim that Christians are responsible for the developing ecological problems because they have used the idea of being made in the image of God Gen 1 26-27 as an excuse to justify exploiting the planet s resources Given the changes Owerri-West is experiencing concerning seasons like rain harmattan and dry seasons the issue of environmental crises is clear In response to the environmental difficulties in Owerri-West the article examines God s presence also known as the Immanence of God The data for the study was gathered through a literature review done through an analytical-critical discursive approach
