Religion, Narrative, and the Environmental Humanities provides a fresh
look at rhetoric, religion, and environmental humanities through narratives
of evangelical culture, analyses of evangelical writing, and their connection
to environmental topics. This volume aims to present a cultural understanding
between evangelical and non-evangelical communities, exploring
how environmental priorities and differences fit within the thinking and felt
experiences of American evangelicalism. Offering a variety of theological
topics, chapters include discussion of key themes such as eschatology,
scriptural authority, and stewardship, and their relationship to evangelical
thinking and conceptualization within climate change rhetoric. To help
readers better access evangelicalism and translate these ideas, each chapter
utilizes individual narratives located within evangelicalism to set an affective
or experiential base for readers. In addition, this volume includes textual
analysis of key documents within each section to further explore the
environmental issues, values, and elements within the subculture of American
evangelicalism. This volume will be essential for all scholars interested
in bridging the gap of cultural translation and exploring the deep rhetorical
roots of evangelical attitudes toward environmental issues.
