The Common Good and the Global Emergency

Planning and architecture have to be understood in relation to climate change and peak oil and the concept of the common good is key to understanding how important this is. Leading on from his previous book A Theology of the Built Environment T. J. Gorringe provides a theoretical and political framework of the common good applying this to the built environment. This framework is used to discuss and highlight issues regarding place transport food and farming and as such explains the relation of Christianity to the built world in which we live. Exploring new themes in the context of the concern about climate change and resource depletion Gorringe provides an innovative account covering a wide range of source matter and illustrating the connections in modern theology and ethics.
