YouTube description

In this video I discuss three aspects of Christian belief that might – according to some people - make Christians less likely to care about the environment. I look at anthropocentrism, the idea that humans are more important than other creatures; dualism, the separation of spiritual and material things; and eschatology, beliefs about the end of the world. For each of these, I invite you to think about whether it’s really a core part of Christianity, and, if so, whether it’s really a problem.
