The impending anthropogenic climate catastrophe is one of the greatest problems that humanity has faced. While prophets and activists such as Greta Thunberg make the headlines, everyday ethicists need coherent and workable views. For religious thinkers, climate change represents a new Fall: a resounding failure in our collective stewardship. However, they also see hope and propose new ways of connecting with the earth and getting back to our roots. The screeching voices of climate change denial have often been associated with the religious right but they have always been on the margins of theistic responses, too. These texts explore different religious attitudes to stewardship, specifically focusing on the challenges raised by climate change in the twenty-first century. My students have been bombarded with information about climate change, much of it morally loaded, in many of their subjects across the curriculum. These texts provide them with a helpful chance to step back and think about our relationship with the environment in a wider theological context.
