This book is a synthesis of catholic social teaching related to the climate
crisis, an examination of the climate debate from a catholic perspective.
After looking at the main ecological issues, the root of the problem is
identified by the Holy Fathers as a moral crisis within humanity. This moral
crisis stems from a misunderstanding of humanities proper place within the
cosmos leading to anthropocentrism and a dominating attitude towards the earth
and its resources. An exegesis of both the Old and New Testament is conducted
to identify key passages that help to redefine the covenant relationship
between creator and creature and to provide a theocentric mindset. This
publication examines emerging models of creation and track the development of
catholic social teaching regarding creation care up to the publication of
Laudato Si’, as well as current ecumenical initiatives and joint statements
from the churches.
