Sold by Memphis Library Friends
Condition: Used: Very Good
Comment: This hardcover book is as pictured, and is not Ex-Library. The spine is square, the binding tight. The text appears free of notations and highlighting. The dust jacket is clean with a very slight crinkling in upper corner near the spine probably caused by shelf wear (possibly from storage) and the cover is clean. This book does not appear to have been read. The book is signed by the author to the Nature Conservancy. But for the slight imperfection of the dust jacket this book would be rated Like New. All proceeds to Memphis Library Friends to benefit the Memphis Library System. gdp

Despite three decades of scientists' warnings and environmentalists' best efforts, the political will and public engagement necessary to fuel robust action on global climate change remain in short supply. Katharine K. Wilkinson shows that, contrary to popular expectations, faith-based efforts are emerging and strengthening to address this problem. In the US, perhaps none is more significant than evangelical climate care.

Drawing on extensive focus group and textual research and interviews, Between God & Green explores the phenomenon of climate care, from its historical roots and theological grounding to its visionary leaders and advocacy initiatives. Wilkinson examines the movement's reception within the broader evangelical community, from pew to pulpit. She shows that by engaging with climate change as a matter of private faith and public life, leaders of the movement challenge traditional boundaries of the evangelical agenda, partisan politics, and established alliances and hostilities. These leaders view sea-level rise as a moral calamity, lobby for legislation written on both sides of the aisle, and partner with atheist scientists.

Wilkinson reveals how evangelical environmentalists are reshaping not only the landscape of American climate action, but the contours of their own religious community. Though the movement faces complex challenges, climate care leaders continue to leverage evangelicalism's size, dominance, cultural position, ethical resources, and mechanisms of communication to further their cause to bridge God and green.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Between God and Green makes a number of important contributions to religious and environmental studies and deserves a wide audience, both academic and popular."--Journal of Religion

"The research [Wilkinson's Between God & Green] reflects, her careful analysis of the theological and political differences of evangelical leaders, and her efforts to categorize views held by the evangelicals with whom she had group discussions are commendable...Wilkinson's text is also helpful for scholars, leaders, and members of other Christian denominations and religions who struggle with disparate voices that prevent a fully cohesive approach to major issues." --Journal of the American Academy of Religion

"A compelling and detailed narrative that keeps the reader engaged throughout the work... This may be the most detailed and important book on the subject of evangelical concern over climate change." --Sociology of Religion

"This comprehensive account of evangelical involvement in the climate movement offers a good window on one facet of the global warming movement. Faced with the reality of rapid climate shifts, Creation needs these advocates expanding their efforts!^"
--Bill McKibben, author of The Comforting Whirlwind: God, Job, and the Scale of Creation

"Between God & Green is a great story, one where faith breaks free of conventional boundaries and expectations and expresses itself in a profound way on one of the great moral and political challenges of our time, the human threat to the stability of the planet's climate."
--James Gustave Speth, author of The Bridge at the Edge of the World: Capitalism, the Environment, and Crossing from Crisis to Sustainability

"In a world where, all too often, depictions of evangelicals are one-dimensional and simplistic, Wilkinson brings a fresh perspective and extensive research to understanding the complexity of evangelicalism in this wonderfully told story of evangelical climate activism. Concerned to give a complete picture of this important segment of Christian environmentalism in the U.S., she combines discursive analysis of key texts with extensive interviews with key leaders of climate change activism and their critics, as well as everyday church-goers, to paint the best portrait to date of green evangelicals and the challenges they face."
--Laurel Kearns, co-editor of EcoSpirit: Religions and Philosophies for the Earth

Very good read. Open, non-judgmental view of Evangelicals and the subtle shift in their view toward climate change and other environmental issues.

I was expecting a realistic analysis of Evangelical involvement in the green movement. Sadly the movement is week at best and the claims the author made about Evangelical leadership rang hollow. I'm part of a faith-centered environmental justice organization and simply don't see Evangelicals out front in the way this book would have you believe.

4.0 out of 5 stars The battle over climate change
Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2013
Between God & Green: How Evangelicals Are Cultivating a Middle Ground on Climate Change Katherine K. Wilkinson has made a valuable contribution to the study of American evangelism and the environmental movement. The book documents the slow evolution of the evangelical viewpoint on the climate change. If you are the type of reader that enjoys books that connect events with personalities, this book will bring you a good measure of satisfaction. Between God & Green, covers a time span from the 1800s to 2006. I was pleased that Wilkinson illuminated with greater depth the period of 1970-2006. She pointed out the process of developing an evangelical Eco-theology.
Most people know from the evening news the outcome of some of the behind the scene shenanigans of the evangelical environmental movement. In chapters three and four, there is enough drama from these activities to keep the readers turning the pages. The polemics between the evangelical environmental elites and their opponents on the evangelical right will leave the reader wondering if the creation care alliance has lost its ability to champion ecological cause. If you wonder, what affects the disputes of these two camps have on the people in the pews; read chapter five. Wilkinson's research painted a concise picture of their thoughts on Christian environmentalism.
Although, I wanted to read more about evangelical positions on environmental justice issues and the source of their funding, this is a good book. Between God & Green, is one of the more balanced books on what has happen to Christian evangelists' stewardship of God's creation. I recommend you read this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars *Between God and Green* is an important resource for anyone ...
Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2015
*Between God and Green* is an important resource for anyone -- scholar or otherwise -- who is interested in how evangelicals are engaging with climate change. With engaging prose, and precise and thorough research, Wilkinson's book provides a uniquely comprehensive look at the evangelical 'climate care' movement.
