"Despite three decades of scientists' warnings and environmentalists' best efforts,
the political will and public engagement necessary to fuel robust action on global
climate change remain in short supply. Katharine K. Wilkinson shows that, contrary
to popular expectations, faith-based efforts are emerging and strengthening to address
this problem. In the US, perhaps none is more significant than evangelical climate
care. Drawing on extensive focus group and textual research and interviews, Between
God 愋een explores the phenomenon of climate care, from its historical roots and theological
grounding to its visionary leaders and advocacy initiatives. Wilkinson examines the
movement's reception within the broader evangelical community, from pew to pulpit.
She shows that by engaging with climate change as a matter of private faith and public
life, leaders of the movement challenge traditional boundaries of the evangelical
agenda, partisan politics, and established alliances and hostilities. These leaders
view sea-level rise as a moral calamity, lobby for legislation written on both sides
of the aisle, and partner with atheist scientists. Wilkinson reveals how evangelical
environmentalists are reshaping not only the landscape of American climate action,
but the contours of their own religious community. Though the movement faces complex
challenges, climate care leaders continue to leverage evangelicalism's size, dominance,
cultural position, ethical resources, and mechanisms of communication to further their
cause to bridge God and green."--Publisher's website
