DESCRIPTION:16th Annual Prophetic Voices Lecture with Laurie Zoloth (Northw
 estern University)\n\nProphecy has two duties: it must imagine the future a
 nd it must offer a choice\, the warning contingent on human moral agency. I
 n this world\, and at this time\, the duty of prophecy is not theoretical\,
  for humanity faces a stark reality\, one that is already beginning to unfo
 ld. Climate change threatens the world of stability that undergirds all ins
 titutions\, all texts\, and all practices. While a drastically changed clim
 ate is a new challenge in science and policy\, the drama of drought and ref
 ugees is not a new problem in religious texts or traditions. The biblical a
 ccount of creation sends humans into a chancy world\; the famines that driv
 e the biblical narrative send populations sweeping across the Middle East\,
  in a land promised\, but fragile. As our world begins to shift under the b
 urden of a dramatically warming climate\, it is the duty of prophecy – to i
 magine and to warn – that animates both science and theology.
