The past three centuries have witnessed the accumulation of
unprecedented levels of wealth and the production of unprecedented
risks. These risks include the declining integrity and stability of
many of the world's environments, which face dramatic and possibly
irreversible change as the environmental burdens of late modern
lifestyles increasingly shift to fragile ecosystems, vulnerable
communities, and future generations. Globalization has increased
the scope and scale of these risks, as well as the pace of their
emergence. It has also made possible global environmental
governance, attempts to manage risk by unprecedented numbers and
types of authoritative agents, including state and non-state actors
at the local, national, regional, and global levels. In The
Gardeners' Dirty Hands: Environmental Politics and Christian
Ethics, Noah Toly offers an interpretation of environmental
governance that draws upon insights into the tragic - the need to
forego, give up, undermine, or destroy one or more goods in order
to possess or secure one or more other goods. Toly engages
Christian and classical Greek ideas of the tragic to illuminate the
enduring challenges of environmental politics. He suggests that
Christians have unique resources for responsible engagement with
global environmental politics while acknowledging the need for
mutually agreed, and ultimately normative, restraints.
