"Besides building the courage of Christians and reminding them of their most lasting legacy and unique calling, namely, to radically love and care for the world around them, I worry [Dominion] has instead been taken as an ego boost." Very well said.
Christians have felt mocked and disrespected for a while, to the point that we might be overeager to uncritically platform voices that actually see faith as valuable in society. Thank you for this post!
A really clear and helpful summary of a complex issue. I feel conflicted by Kingsnorth and Martin Shaw: I find many of their ideas on myth, modernity and civilisation very compelling and their faith sincere, but there is a very masculine vibe about this big-bearded, eco-warrior take on the Gospel. My Spider-senses are whispering "patriarchy". It's helpful to have your thoughtful take on this and other currents in modern Christian thought.
Very interesting, but you only need to look at how Christians fare in Muslim countries ( or even in western countries) to see that your take on Islam is rose-tinted.
This is incredible
Well, thank you! It is incredibly long 😂
"especially because I believe that Christians and Muslims share a noteworthy amount of overlapping ethical commitments in the public square"
I'm not sure, I think there are some issues such as their penchant for mass rape that seem difficult to square with the Christian ethos
Thank you for cohesively presenting something I've been thinking about in fits and starts for awhile.

To be fair to Paul Kingsnorth, the “eco warrior” phase is in his past, not his present.

This sounds interesting; I will give it a read later.
