For Christians concerned about environmental issues

Addresses the need for a theological perspective on ecology

You will gain insights to deepen your faith and action

Eco Theology explores the intersection of faith and environmentalism.

Concern for the environment has developed and intensified over the last decades to the point where it now dominates much of our contemporary political landscape and culture. The rise of religious environmentalism in particular adds its own distinctive voice to the debate, for it seeks to trace both the malaise and a potential solution to environmental understanding.

In Eco Theology, Celia Deane-Drummond offers a comprehensive resource book for this burgeoning field of enquiry that highlights and seeks to evaluate the merits or otherwise contemporary eco theologies. She introduces the reader to critical debates, tracing trends from around the globe and key theological responses, and encourages reflection and analysis through further reading sections at the end of each chapter and questions for discussion. It will prove an essential guide for students and general readers with a serious interest in the topic.
