Acclaimed religion scholar and author Timothy Beal discusses issues raised in his
book “When Time is Short” and how we might navigate the inevitabilities of the climate crisis and the very real possibility of human extinction. Timothy Beal
argues that religion has informed a state of denial and a view of human
exceptionalism that ignores the laws of nature. The author explores difficult
questions about our own mortality as a species and how we can find hope in the
face of an increasingly dire environmental crisis.
