Meeting the Enemy

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“In recent years, Christian environmental ethicists have begun the important work of interweaving questions of ecological concern with questions pertaining to the social, economic, and political realms. Kevin O'Brien has been at the forefront of this work. In Meeting the Enemy, O'Brien continues to expand his vision of the movement toward a world that more fully reflects God's love for all of creation. Engaging a diverse array of interlocutors while drawing upon Walter Wink's conception of the "powers that be," O'Brien gives us a way of conceptualizing and enacting the struggle against a fossil fuel industry that would devour the earth in its service to mammon. This book will be helpful to activists, scholars, and communities of faith alike.”
