Evangelicals emphasize creation care; mainline Protestants embrace the green movement; the Catholic Church lists \"10 deadly environmental sins;\" and the Eastern Orthodox Patriarch has declared climate change an urgent issue of social and economic justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis textbook examines seven contemporary environmental challenges through the lens of classical Christian virtues. Authors Kathryn Blanchard and Kevin O'Brien use these classical Christian virtues to seek a \"golden mean\" between extreme positions by pairing each virtue with a pernicious environmental problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStudents are thus led past political pitfalls and encouraged to care for other creatures \u003ci\u003eprudently\u003c\/i\u003e, to develop new energy sources \u003ci\u003ecourageously\u003c\/i\u003e, to choose our food \u003ci\u003etemperately\u003c\/i\u003e, to manage toxic pollution \u003ci\u003ejustly\u003c\/i\u003e, to respond to climate change \u003ci\u003efaithfully\u003c\/i\u003e, to consider humanity's future \u003ci\u003ehopefully\u003c\/i\u003e, and to engage \u003ci\u003elovingly\u003c\/i\u003e in advocacy for God's earth.
