An Apocalypse Converted: William Stringfellow and Catholic Social Teaching on Climate Breakdown

Church Podmatics Season 1 Episode 6

Kevin Hargaden’s July 2021 article in the Studies in Christian Ethics, “An Apocalypse Converted: William Stringfellow and Catholic Social Teaching on Climate Breakdown” explores the issue of climate change. In the article, engaging with Pope Francis’ 2015 Encyclical ‘Laudato Si’, and William Stringfellow’s (1928-1985) work on 'Apocalyptic theology', he encourages us to approach this 'issue of our time', through a deeply theological framework.

Hargaden has written a book, called “Theological Ethics in a Neoliberal Age” (October 2018), which was mentioned in the episode.
