Daniel Salomon unveils a "makeover" of his earlier concept--- a
proposed Master of Arts Program in Christian Environmental Studies
which is full, in-residency, accredited, non-secular,
Christocentric, and life-affirming. With refined syllabuses and
readings, a more user-friendly format and a proposal for a
faith-based school of the environment, Salomon incoroperates new
insights, new resources, new breakthroughs in the feild and over
five years of hard-won professional experience. Showing why
existing programs are insufficient and getting beyond just trying
to convert Christians to environmentalism, Christian Environmental
Studies helps people, once they are on board with the Christian
environmental "bandwagon," steady the course. Christian
Environmental Studies is for anyone who wants to deepen and
live-out their ecological commitments and is especially targeted
towards Christian academics and administrators at seminaries,
theological schools, divinity schools, and Christian colleges and
universities, who want to address the environment, but are not
quite sure how to do it. At heart, Christian Environmental Studies
is a book about Christian environmental leadership. In an issue no
more urgent, Salomon continues to talk to the Christian faith
community about the need to harness, systematize, and structure
their newfound ecological awareness toward creating green social
structures in the Body of Christ. Focusing on the sector of
Christian academia, Salomon makes the case why Christians need to
channel their impetus for global environmental change towards the
goal of actualization and realization making ecological commitments
systemic and structural to Christiantom. Salomon demonstrates why
it is time now to take Christian environmentalism to the next
level. It is time more than ever, especially since Christian
environmentalism is more and more being adopted by theologians,
pastors and even by some secular environmentalists, to get beyond
angry sermons and top-down resolutions, to looking at planetary
issues more thoughtfully, to empower more colloberation by the
laity, to fully welcome the full diversity of the environmental and
animal movements, becomming a more coherent, life-affirming
ecological voice in the process. Moving the planetary agenda from
Sunday worship services to Christian acedemia and involving the
laity would reduce political polarization in America, increase
ecological commitment and maybe even save community in America.
