When Time Is Short

In When Time is Short, acclaimed religion scholar Timothy Beal explores how faith, hope, and compassion can guide us through the climate crisis and the looming possibility of human extinction. He examines the roots of modern capitalism in Christian beliefs of human dominion and re-reads biblical texts to highlight alternative, humbler ways of relating to the natural world. Offering a space for acknowledgment and grief, Beal encourages us to imagine new futures and rediscover ancient perspectives rooted in ecological interdependence.
