Climate change policies : these are moral matters Climate change and climate treaties : the context for deliberation Moral dimensions of climate change : four formulations Choosing our future : a fifth formulation Reading the Bible and doing ethics The Bible and ecological ethics Jesus, Torah, and temple The reign of God : alternative to empire Paul's challenge to Caesar Biblical social ethics and the kingdom of oil The atmospheric global commons.
Review: "Carol Robb brings together the several dimensions of this one overarching issue of our lifetimes: hers is an ecological ethics in theological perspective, and it integrates economic theory, environmental policy, and most distinctively New Testament studies. Alongside deliberation on scenarios for the future in light of climate change and assessing criteria for ethical policy in this area, she reflects on implications of the New Testament worldview for ethics now. Relating Jesus' life, ministry, and teachings to his resurrection, then probing how Paul and other early followers of Jesus related to the empire provides a fruitful fund of ideas for Christian responsibility in this area."--BOOK JACKET.
