    This study of water in Jayber Crow helps illuminate the eschatological vision of Wendell Berry and shows how love for the earth can also manifest itself in a love for heaven, not by disdaining the earth but by embracing its sacramentality. Jayber's life is shaped by the river that runs through his story and influences him physically and spiritually. It is the river that guides him home, moves him to the camp house, shows him the beauty of living alongside of nature, baptizes him, and teaches him how to articulate his hope. Seen in this light, Jayber Crow acts as a clarion call for preserving sacramental realities such as water. This reading dwells in the intersection of blue-ecocriticism, ecotheology, and sacramental theology, showing how Jayber's story weaves together the spiritual and physical significance of water and teaches us that in order to heal our ecological relationships, we must heal our sacramental imaginations.

    Although there are many reasons for Christian skepticism regarding climate change, one reason is theological in nature, and therefore, requires a theological solution. This essay explains the theological grounds for climate change denial and for a compromised understanding of the power and creativity of human agency. Drawing inspiration from the ecotheological implications of postcolonial poetics, it seeks to offer revised conceptions of the atonement and the fall and of what it means to read both scripture and nature. The aim is to offer a more resilient Christian theology that can inspire agential creativity in the age of the Anthropocene.
