Revitalization of religious narratives for water resource preservation
Water pollution, caused primarily by mining and palm oil plantation, contributed to the water crisis in North Morowali, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. It has impacted the Mori Indigenous community, which are among the largest and the oldest communities in the area. They have their own ecological knowledge that reveals a strong connection to the water, but the extractive industries, which pollute their historic Tiu Lake, threaten others water resour…
Religion and Adaptation in Drowning Villages
This article discusses the religious dimension of the coastal adaptation of Muslim communities on northern coast of Java, Indonesia. As a volcanic island, geomorphological processes are the main causes of coastal inundation in Java. Nonetheless, debates on coastal adaptation mostly related to climate change adaptation. By focusing on North Coast Java, this study aims to draw parallels between the experiences of Javanese communities and communitie…
Apocalypses now and then
A review of two recent books that tackle environmental catastrophe through a secular reading of theological concepts and from the perspectives of faith-based and secular ecological justice movements
The Atonement of Our Parent's Sin
This article emphasised the local Muslim community's response to environmental change and explored how religious narratives play a significant role in shaping their action. Place-based narrative is employed as conceptual frame to scrutinise the communityâ€TMs understanding of the drowning condition. As a case study, Pantai Bahagia Village in West Java is selected based on two criteria: (1) deemed as the fastest drowning area in the North Java Coa…
Dimensi Keagamaan Dalam Migrasi Ligkungan
Penelitian ini membahas dimensi keagamaan dalam migrasi lingkungan dua komunitas Muslim di Pesisir Utara Jawa dalam menghadapi abrasi dan bajir rob. Konsep migrasi lingkungan digunakan untuk mencermati pembuatan keputusan dan proses relokasi kedua komunitas sebagai upaya menghindari kondisi desa yang tenggelam. Dua komunitas Muslim, yaitu Bedono di Demak, Jawa Tengah, dan Pantai Bahagia di Bekasi, Jawa Barat, dipilih karena kedua komunitas terseb…
Fittingness and Environmental Ethics
This volume focuses on ‘fittingness’ as an ethical-aesthetical idea, and in particular examines how the concept is beneficial for environmental ethics. It brings together an innovative set of contributions to argue that fittingness is a significant but under-investigated facet of human ethical deliberation with both ethical and aesthetic dimensions. In widely diverse matters – from architecture to table manners – individuals and communities make …
Against Lockdowns for the Climate and for a Theology of a Living Earth
There is an eerie convergence in academic and media commentary between ‘public health’ policies in the time of the Covid-19 pandemic and policies to address climate change. Bruno Latour argues that unprecedented state control and surveillance of citizens in their homes, meetings and movements, are needed to address climate change. This claim rests on two assumptions. The first is that reducing carbon emissions is the way to address the modest inc…
Eco-Theology
En analys av förutsättningar för att ta etisk ställning till aktuella problem kring miljö och hållbar utveckling - med fokus på Sigurd Bergmanns bidrag.
Christian climate care
This qualitative study draws on in‐depth interviews and documentary analysis conducted between 2014 and 2016 to investigate the nature of pro‐environmental behaviour of members within the Eco‐Congregation Scotland network. We argue for an integrative analytical frame, that we call “eco‐theo‐citizenship,” which synthesises strengths of values‐, practice‐ and citizenship‐based approaches to the study of pro‐environmental behaviour within the specif…

Christianity in Asia
Myth, Ritual, and the New Universe Story in the Inner Hebrides
An Outdoor Philosophy retreat led by the British ecological philosopher and activist Kate Rawles was held on the Hebrides-facing shore of Scotland in June 2014. The eleven participants comprised a group of environmentalists who included ve academics, two environmental consultants, and four managers of environmental NGOs. One had led the rst experiment in iron fertilisation in the Southern Ocean to estimate the potential of this geoengineering tec…

Reading Hauerwas in the Cornbelt
In this paper I examine criticism of Hauerwas's critique of American democracy and liberalism, and of American violence and war, as sectarian and politically irrelevant. This twin account has the merit of engaging his critics from left and right. I show that his critique of American Christians, and their support of America's ways of promoting justice and freedom at home and in the world, has analogies with Foucault's genealogical project in Franc…
Buddhist Rituals, Mosque Sermons and Marine Turtles
As industrial civilisation presses on the limits of ecosystems, scienti?c conservation requires new strategies to restrain the destruction or modi?cation of habitats and ecosystems in order to halt the decline in biodiversity. Some advocates of community-based conservation strategies propose that scienti?c conservation discourses and practices bene?t from supplementation by ritual practices and traditional knowledge associated with place-based re…

The Concealments of Carbon Markets and the Publicity of Love in a Time of Climate Change
The Kyoto Protocol and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change have failed to engage the nations in a cooperative approach to reducing the greenhouse gas emissions that are destabilizing the earth’s climate. Central to this failure is the resort to neo-liberal market techniques—and in particular markets in carbon emissions—for the management of emissions reduction. The resort to Carbon Emissions Trading (CET) reveals the problem…
Loving Scripture and Nature
Against James Nash’s proposal that scripture has no regard for biodiversity or untamed nature I propose that on the contrary scripture contains a rich narrative of ecological respect and restoration. Nash fails to see this because he reads scripture along the lines of the now discredited form critical approach to the Bible. When scripture is read as canon it speaks clearly of human duties to care for otherkind, and to respect a cosmic covenant be…

Concept Art, Clones, and Co‐creators
In this essay the author compares postmodern art and the cloning of mammals and argues that they both rely upon a narrative of human creativity which sets humanity in the place of God as the only source of meaning and truth in the cosmos. The Christian tradition by contrast owns limits to human making—both artistic and scientific—which are provided by the natural order of creation and by the story of humanity as fallen, and then as redeemed by th…

Wilderness, Religion and Ecological Restoration in the Scottish Highlands
The efforts of nature conservation bodies to return parts of the Highlands to a ‘pristine’ state involve attempts to reduce both signs of human dwelling and the destructive impacts of animals introduced by wealthy landlords for sport and cash such as deer and sheep. The irony is that such restoration projects will still not achieve the levels of biodiversity that obtained before the Clearances when Gaels dwelt in what are now regarded as ecologic…

The Environment and Christian Ethics
This book is about the extent, origins and causes of the environmental crisis. Dr Northcott argues that Christianity has lost the biblical awareness of the inter-connectedness of all life. He shows how Christian theologians and believers might recover a more ecologically friendly belief system and life style. The author provides an important corrective to secular approaches to environmental ethics, including utilitarian individualism, animal righ…
From Environmental Utopianism to Parochial Ecology
The image of the earth from space as the blue planet has become one of the dominant framings of nature in the late twentieth century. From space the earth looks at once beautiful and fragile. The quantity of water on the planet, relative to land, is striking. So too are the contrasts between the white polar caps and the light and dark browns of the continents of Africa, Asia and the Americas. The image has echoes of Stanley Kubrik’s film 2001, wi…
Pearse, Why the Rest Hates the West
An Angel Directs the Storm’
In his inaugural speech, President George W. Bush suggested that the mission of America to spread freedom and democracy in the world is a divinely authored mission. The intention first announced in Bush's inaugural to globalize an American Christian vision of freedom and democracy, and of free market capitalism, reflects the theological underpinnings of the neo-conservativism of the Bush administration. In this article I trace the remarkable cont…
