Christians share a common concern for the earth. Evangelicals
emphasize creation care; mainline Protestants embrace the green
movement; the Catholic Church lists "10 deadly environmental sins";
and the Eastern Orthodox Patriarch has declared climate change an
urgent issue of social and economic justice.
This textbook examines seven contemporary environmental
challenges through the lens of classical Christian virtues. Authors
Kathryn Blanchard and Kevin O'Brien use these classical Christian
virtues to discover a "golden mean" between extreme positions by
pairing each virtue with a pernicious environmental problem.
Students are thus led past political pitfalls and encouraged to
care for other creatures prudently, to develop new energy sources
courageously, to choose our food temperately, to manage toxic
pollution justly, to respond to climate change faithfully, to
consider humanity's future hopefully, and to engage lovingly in
advocacy for God's earth. Readers will emerge from this text with a
deeper understanding of contemporary environmental problems and the
fundamentals of Christian virtue ethics.
