Equipping adults to think critically about modern Environmental issues from a Christian Humanist perspective.

Course Description

The alarm has sounded ever since Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring was published in 1962. What was once a movement about the harmful effects of synthetic chemicals has warped into a narrative claiming that humans are destroying the environment through climate change, desertification, mass extinction of species, and famine for the entire human race. It makes one wonder, are we truly headed for such peril? The narrative tells us humanity is a blight on the earth; Scripture tells us mankind is God’s image-bearer, charged to “work and keep” creation. Christians should resist fear-mongering and instead respond with clarity and hope. Building a biblical philosophy of environmental stewardship rooted in piety rather than panic, students will be trained to think critically about environmental claims and to understand the created order as a gift entrusted to humanity. Lies such as, “humans are a blight on the earth”, will be explored, debunked, and responded to in a biblical way. Questions surrounding climate change and loss of biodiversity will also be discussed.
