**5. Conclusions**

Albert Camus ([1947] 2002) remarked that "[W]hen an abstraction starts to kill you, you have to ge<sup>t</sup> to work on it" (p. 69). In this article I have claimed that climate change reveals that sovereignty is the abstraction that is killing us and millions of other species. To "work" on this abstraction includes first acknowledging it. Only then can we begin to envision how we might live and relate to each other and other species without this abstraction. As Clayton Crockett (2012) suggests, "We need to experiment radically with new ways of thinking and living, because the current paradigm is in a state of exhaustion, depletion, and death" (p. 165). I also argued that the revelation of climate emergency invites us to reimagine the Christian revelation as one that invites believing and living together without the apparatuses of human and divine sovereignty. It is altogether another question whether this will be enough.
