In He Will Save You From the Deadly Pestilence, acclaimed religious scholar Philip Jenkins illustrates how the evolving uses of Psalm 91 allow us to map developing ideas about religion and the supernatural, theology and politics, medicine and mysticism.

The world has repeatedly suffered severe climate-driven shocks, which have resulted in famine, disease, violence, social upheaval, and mass migration. Such episodes have often been understood in religious terms, through the language of apocalypse, millennium, and Judgment. And they have frequently had real religious consequences, for instance by spawning new religious movements and revivals, or driving the persecution of religious minorities. Philip Jenkins shows howclimate change has redrawn the world's religious maps, and how man-made climate change is likely to do so once again.
