About the Book
The revised edition of Love in a Time of Climate Change this book includes updates based on the latest climate science and underscores the increasing urgency of the climate crisis. It challenges readers to develop a faithful response to climate change, which disproportionately harms the poor, threatens future generations, and damages God’s creation. It highlights the remarkable growth, expansion, and diversity of the global movement for climate justice, which is led primarily by those who are disproportionately impacted by fossil fuel pollution and climate change. The book updates today’s political, economic, social, and ecological context to help readers understand how current events make sense based on the book’s premise. The purpose of this book is to equip readers with tools of discernment and updated facts related to climate change and climate justice in ways that enable readers to discern a positive and faithful response. Hope persists in this new edition as a response to the grief and anger we may feel, while also moving us towards action.
In Love in a Time of Climate Change: Honoring Creation, Establishing Justice, Sharon Delgado guides readers on a journey of faith inspired by love of God and neighbor that integrates personal spirituality with action for climate justice. The book employs Scripture, tradition, reason, and experience to explore creation and justice in the context of climate change and climate justice. Through this process, readers discover a unique way to understand and assess the realities of climate change, discern its physical and spiritual implications, reflect on planetary warming theologically, and discern a faithful response.
The premise of Love in a Time of Climate Change is that love of God and neighbor requires us to honor creation and establish justice for our human family, for future generations, and for all creation. From the Introduction: “As we entrust our lives to God, we are enabled to join with others in the movement for climate justice and to carry a unified message of healing, love, and solidarity as we live into God’s future, offering hope in the midst of the climate crisis that `another world is possible.’ God is ever present, always with us. Love never ends.”
