Much current commentary on climate change, both secular and
theological, focuses on the duties of individual citizens to reduce
their consumption of fossil fuels. In A Political Theology of
Climate Change, however, Michael Northcott discusses nations as key
agents in the climate crisis. Against the anti-national trend of
contemporary political theology, Northcott renarrates the origins
of the nations in the divine ordering of history. In dialogue with
Giambattista Vico, Carl Schmitt, Alasdair MacIntyre, and other
writers, he argues that nations have legal and moral
responsibilities to rule over limited terrains and to guard a just
and fair distribution of the fruits of the earth within the
ecological limits of those terrains. As part of his study,
Northcott brilliantly reveals how the prevalent nature-culture
divide in Western culture, including its notion of nature as
-private property, - has contributed to the global ecological
crisis. While addressing real difficulties and global controversies
surrounding climate change, Northcott presents substantial and
persuasive fare in his Political Theology of Climate Change.
