Climate, Catastrophe, and Faith

How Changes in Climate Drive Religious Upheaval

Beschreibung

The world has repeatedly suffered severe climate-driven shocks, which have resulted in famine, disease, violence, social upheaval, and mass migration. Such episodes have often been understood in religious terms, through the language of apocalypse, millennium, and Judgment. And they have frequently had real religious consequences, for instance by spawning new religious movements and revivals, or driving the persecution of religious minorities. Philip Jenkins shows how climate change has redrawn the world's religious maps, and how man-made climate change is likely to do so once again.
