God, Creation & Climate Change - A Catholic Response to the Environmental Crisis

EDITOR Richard W Miller

Leading theologians and ethicists reflect on the most serious crisis of our time, offering insights from theology, history, and ethics to aid in the transformation required to meet it. The magnitude of the problem of environmental degradation and climate change requires a complete rethinking and reorientation of our way of being in the world. Responding to this crisis requires not only a conversion of the will but even more fundamentally a transformation of the imagination - that is, the capacity to think of other ways of being, thinking and acting in the world.

These original essays include: The bible’s Wisdom Tradition and Creation Theology by Dianne Bergant; Creation, Incarnation and Resurrection by John O’Keefe; Environmental degradation, social sin and the Common Good by Jame Schaefer and Another Call to Action: Catholics and the Challenge of Climate Change by David O’Brien
