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.
