Abstract
Worldwide, we are confronted with air pollution causing serious health risks, devastating storms as a result of climate change, water pollution and dead rivers, mega-waste in megacities, deforestation and growing deserts, peak oil as a sign for limited non-renewable fossil energy sources and never seen disastrous floods. The list of such environmental catastrophes in all parts of the world is huge. What can Christian faith contribute to meet these manifold environmental challenges, especially the global climate change? By exploring the position and task of human beings in the whole creation, Prof. Dr. Christoph Stueckelberger presents the answer to this basic anthropological question by identifying the key in Christian and interreligious environment ethics. Although exploitation, overconsumption, violation, and oppression by human beings threaten life in this wonderful guesthouse , we as guests are invited and are called to use it and to care for it as good stewards and ‘careholders’.
