Almost foreshadowing our current era, Maximus the Confessor had claimed that "Creation is the accuser of the ungodly" and even went as far as to say "that by means of the visible [natural] world we should understand whence we came, what we are, for what purpose we were made and where we are going". If natural creation is indeed accusing us, as Maximus claimed, what is nature saying to us? Ultimately, if the human-induced climate crisis does indeed reveal moral truths regarding who we are as a species, how should theologians interpret the data garnered by environmental scientists? I raise these questions because I believe that part of getting on track to a more sustainable future is not simply getting the public policies right and inventing new technologies—which are both without a doubt necessary—but must also entail changing how we value the natural world, including our understanding of what natural creation inherently is as well as what we may learn from studying the natural world itself.
