An Introduction to Environmental Ethics
Environmental ethics are of increasing importance both in the wider world and as part of thinking about Christian mission. But too often they are explored as one part of human ethics, and so lose their significance. This wide-ranging overview considers both secular and Christian environmental ethics, exploring both key themes and key thinkers, and provides an excellent map of the subject and its importance.--publisher.

Christianity, Climate Change, and Sustainable Living
What should Christians do to protect the Earth and its people? Amounts and patterns of consumption and production in the West have reached a level that cannot be maintained. Lifestyles based on our present way of creating and using energy are no longer environmentally sustainable--and are threatening the health and well-being of both planet and people. Our activities and the policies that shape them need to change. In light of those realities, Spencer, White, and Vroblesky offer serious Christian engagement with the emerging issue of Sustainable Consumption and Production. They analyze the scientific, sociological, economic, and theological thinking that makes a Christian response to these t...
