How can Christians contribute to the debates about climate change and global warming? What ethical criteria do they bring to the conversation? How does the Bible figure in their deliberation?
 Carol Robb brings together the several dimensions of this one overarching issue of our lifetimes: hers is an ecological ethics in theological perspective, and it integrates economic theory, environmental policy, and most distinctively New Testament studies. Alongside deliberation on scenarios for the future in light of climate change and assessing criteria for ethical policy in this area, she reflects on implications of the New Testament worldview for ethics now. Relating Jesus' life, ministry, and teachings to the resurrection, then probing how Paul and other early followers of Jesus related to the empire, Robb provides a surprisingly fruitful fund of ideas for Christian responsibility in this area.

No adequate understanding of debates about contemporary social issues can neglect the contribution of feminists. One of the major feminist theorists in religious social ethics is Beverly Wildung Harrison. Her writing, speaking, and teaching have helped ethicists do ethics, address specific social issues, and reflect on the Christian churches as a locus for moral thought. It is an occasion for rejoicing that her book on the ethics of procreative choice and now this collection of essays are available for the religious and nonreligious reading public.
