summary
The catastrophic effects of climate change are overwhelming. What can we do? Who is responsible? In the tradition of Walter Wink, O'Brien reminds us that Christians have the power to name and oppose the enemies of God's creation. The fossil fuel industry is our enemy. We can confront this evil power and build a more faithful future.
