Climate & Energy: The Case for Realism with E. Calvin Beisner & David R. Legates

What should Christians really think about climate change? What does the Bible have to say about creation care? E. Calvin Beisner, Ph.D. and Dr. David R. Legates, Ph.D. from the Cornwall Alliance have spent their lives trying to provide this perspective. Their new book, Climate and Energy,brings together numerous experts on climate science, physics, economics, environmental science, political science, ethics, and theology. It brings a clear understanding about the ideas of human-induced climate change and how Christians should respond. In today’s episode, you’ll learn the basics of climate change and how differing worldviews significantly affect a person’s response to the issue. You’ll also learn about renewable energy and its effects on the poor, along with the impact of postmodernism on the field of science. Finally, we offer some critiques of the Christian creation care movement that Megan Basham covered in her recent bestselling book, Shepherds for Sale. Be sure to tune in tomorrow to hear the in-house discussion and our personal takeaways from this eye-opening episode.View the transcript, leave comments, and check out recommended resources on the Episode Landing Page!
