- Summary:
- In 'The Gardeners' Dirty Hands', Noah Toly engages the resources of Christian theological ethics to identify, explore and respond to the most salient feature of contemporary environmental challenges. In conversation with contributions to Christian ethics, Toly argues that modern environmental thought, global environmental governance, climate change and the Anthropocene are characterized by a struggle with the tragic, which may be described as the need to give up, forego, undermine or destroy one or more goods to possess or secure one or more other goods.
