Bonhoeffer and Climate Change

- Theology and Ethics for the Anthropocene

About Bonhoeffer and Climate Change

What is the place of theology in the public discourse around anthropogenic climate change? How do we understand the human relationship to Earth and the ecology of which we are a part? How can we account for the human attempt to dominate nature and the devastation we have caused to our own home? Dianne Rayson addresses these questions. She uses the creation theology of Dietrich Bonhoeffer to examine what it means to be human in the post-Holocene age. Employing a range of BonhoefferΓÇÖs texts, Rayson posits that BonhoefferΓÇÖs Christological theology and this-worldly ethical orientation provide the tools for an Earthly Christianity. She responds to BonhoefferΓÇÖs question, ΓÇ£who actually is Jesus Christ, for us, today?ΓÇ¥ and proposes a Bonhoefferian ecoethic.
