The Gospel of Climate Skepticism

"Robin Veldman uses historical and ethnographic methods to discern why climate skepticism became so strong among conservative Christians, detailing how sectarian Christians used denominational resources and interdenominational connections to prevent pro-environmental orientations from taking root in their communities. It is an important work and should be required reading."--Darren E. Sherkat, Professor of Sociology, Southern Illinois University "In this important and timely book, Robin Veldman challenges facile attempts to reduce evangelical climate skepticism to their apocalyptic beliefs. Instead, she digs deeply into the activities of media producers and critics of secular society who encourage evangelicals to see climate change as an attack on their religion, their families, and their way of life."--Michael J. McVicar, Associate Professor of Religion, Florida State University
