Petroleum production and consumption are not only a source of wealth and welfare, but also a root cause of contemporary climate change. This article deals with the cultural role of petroleum in contemporary globalized societies and how public theology can address the relationship between oil and climate change. I will examine how the Church of Norway is responding to Norwegian petroleum production and climate change and how the church understands the cultural role of petroleum production. I also discuss the moral, political and ecological challenges that follow from petroleum production and consumption and the kind of policy measures the Church of Norway advocates in response to these challenges. Finally, I reflect on the implications of this specific example to the field of public theology
