Exploring how the climate crisis discloses the symbol deficit in
the Christian tradition, this book argues that Christianity is rich
in symbols that identify and address the failures of humans and the
obstacles that prevent humans from doing well, while positive
symbols that can engage people in constructive action seem
underdeveloped. Henriksen examines the potential of the Christian
tradition to develop symbols that can engage peoples in committed
and sustained action to prevent further crisis. To do so, he argues
that we need symbols that engage both intellectually and
emotionally, and which enhance our perception of belonging in
relationships with other humans, be it both in the present and in
the future. According to Henriksen, the deficit can only be
obliterated if we can develop symbols that have some root or
resonance in the Christian tradition, provide concrete and
specified guidance of agency, engage people both emotionally and
intellectually, and finally open up to visions for a moral agency
that provide positive motivations for caring about environmental
conditions as a whole.
