Abstract

The author discusses the focus on environmentalism by American evangelicals. She mentions pastors Tri Robinson and Ken Wilson who are signatories to the Evangelical Climate Initiative (ECI). The author notes the history of what is called creation care, since the term expresses the theological basis of environmental concern. She mentions that the issue of climate change has not been taken up by the evangelical public as it has by evangelical leaders. The theology of the ECI concerns the themes of creation care, eschatology and neighbor care.
