| Summary: | "As debates over climate change rage in Washington and American consumers become ever more conscientious about "going green," evangelical Christians are increasingly concerned about the proper relationship between faith and environmentalism. The notion of human "stewardship" over God's creation could be a groundbreaking opportunity for cooperation between evangelicals, the scientific community, and environmental activists. Yet there remain important differences between Christian and secular perspectives on the environment....Hayward provides an examination of the philosophical presuppositions underlying today's environmentalist movements and the history of policies intended to alleviate environmental challenges such as overpopulation and global warming."--P.
