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
, to develop new energy sources
, to choose our food
, to manage toxic pollution
, to respond to climate change
, to consider humanity's future
, and to engage
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.
