Spotlights, Timothy Morton and Hell: In Search of a Christian Ecology

This episode of Spotlights features Timothy Morton, PhD, Rita Shea Guffey Chair in English at Rice University and author of several books on ecological thought. We discuss their new book, Hell: In Search of a Christian Ecology (Columbia University Press, 2024). Escaping global warming hell, this revelatory book shows, requires a radical, mystical marriage of biology and Christianity—the biosphere and the body of Christ—awakening a future beyond the master-slave binary underlying racism, sexism, classism, and speciesism. We discuss the personal, poetic, political, and spiritual dimensions of this passionate, erudite, and playful book.
