{"product_id":"9781481301732","title":"An Introduction to Christian Environmentalism: Ecology, Virtue, and Ethics","description":"\u003cp\u003eChristians share a common concern for the earth. Evangelicals emphasize creation care; mainline Protestants embrace the green movement; the Catholic Church lists \"10 deadly environmental sins;\" and the Eastern Orthodox Patriarch has declared climate change an urgent issue of social and economic justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStudents are thus led past political pitfalls and encouraged to care for other creatures prudently, to develop new energy sources courageously, to choose our food \u003cem\u003etemperately\u003c\/em\u003e, to manage toxic pollution justly, to respond to climate change faithfully, to consider humanity's future hopefully, and to engage \u003cem\u003elovingly\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baylor University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47044590010608,"sku":"9781481301732","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781481301732_p0.jpg?v=1763621163","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781481301732","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
