| Description: |
FROM THE PUBLISHER: In this groundbreaking book Northcott examines theological attitudes to climate change, from the complacent to the apocalyptic, and the ethical implications for all Christians.
DESCRIPTION: He hears--sometimes explicitly and sometimes as an undertone--that once the engines of industry are decoupled from fossil fuel--a mere technical fix--the environmental problem will be solved. That is a serious misreading of the crisis, says Northcott (ethics, U. of Edinburgh), because global warming is the symptom of the problem not its cause. Among his perspectives as a priest and an ethicist are energy and empire, ethical emissions, mobility and pilgrimage, and faithful feasting.
