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 seek 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.
