All around the world, people are experiencing the effects of climate change and ecological disasters right now, today, this very moment. What should Christians do about it?
Far too often, we find ourselves paralyzed by climate anxiety or hushed by the trumpet of polarizing debate. Yet Christians and congregations are called to engage faithfully and hopefully with pressing, emotionally charged issues—even those that are too often relegated to “politics.
The truth is, both Scripture and theology have much to contribute to the conversation. In Habitat: Thinking Theologically About the Environment, you’ll discover why environmental stewardship is a natural extension of our spiritual lives and address the climate crisis through a lens of hope.
Drawing insights from a broad spectrum of voices—farmers, tech innovators, activists, theologians, biblical scholars, and everyday Christians—the course explores practical ways for individuals and communities to care for creation in productive, nonpartisan ways.
