Climate and Christ : A Prophetic Alternative

Describes what climate change is and how it happens, and suggests ways in which ordinary people can help to mitigate it. It also describes the process of evolution, and proposes that Christian ecology must henceforth integrate evolution. A chapter on Jesus Christ discusses Jesus' own ecology, from birth to resurrection, including the 'agrarian' Jewish ethos which he inherited and lived in his own alternative itinerant lifestyle. It also makes suggestions for our own 'prophetic alternative' lifestyles inspired by Christ. This includes the principles of local sustainability, and an agrarian economics not predicated on everlasting 'growth'. "[A] well researched, eloquently written discussion by a Christian eco-theologian, of climate change and the wisdom of integrating science and faith."--Catholic Library World.
