The subject of the October 2011 issue of Interpretation is climate change. It is arguably the most important theological and ethical issue of our time, overshadowing all others—war, hunger, poverty, racism—because it affects all others. Yet, public and political denial continues. The religious community ought to be in the forefront of a movement to address climate change. Not to do so would be like having stood aside from all previous social justice movements. Theodore Hiebert lays the biblical foundation, arguing that the world as God’s creation lies at the heart of faith, a reality long denied by the dualism of nature versus history. For Rosemary Radford Ruether, Christian theology must address the unprecedented possibility that humans can destroy the Earth. Larry Rasmussen argues that we now live on a new and different planet, thanks to climate change, which requires a new and different construal of Christian faith and ethics. William H. Schlesinger represents the scientific community. Readers unfamiliar with the causes and consequences of climate change may want to read his article first. |
