From biodiversity loss to climate change, the created world is under pressure. Today’s environmental issues are theological and relational at heart. How can we develop a theocentric approach to the environment and promote lasting solutions?
This new book addresses the high environmental and social costs of modern food systems and provides theological reflections on the interconnected relationships between God, humanity and the non-human creation. By developing an extensive theology of food and eating, it suggests practical applications for individuals, organisations and policymakers – so that we can learn to eat joyfully, relationally and sustainably.

David Nussbaum was invited to give our first annual lecture.
He is CEO of The Elders (an independent group of global leaders working together for peace, justice and human rights founded by Nelson Mandela) and formerly CEO at WWF-UK and at Transparency International.
His lecture addressed the question, is there a way to eat that is good for me, good for others and good for the planet?
This lecture covers material in chapters 1 & 3 of 'Christianity, Climate Change and Sustainable Living' (Spencer & White), beginning with the scientific case in favour of global climate change.
Professor White then outlines the theological perspective on why we should care for the environment. He concludes by exploring how Christian values should play a key role in our response.
In this talk the co-chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) Scientific Assessment working group 1988-2002 presents what he believes to be the impact of climate change.
