Thoreau's Religion presents a ground-breaking interpretation of
Henry David Thoreau's most famous book, Walden. Rather than
treating Walden Woods as a lonely wilderness, Balthrop-Lewis
demonstrates that Thoreau's ascetic life was a form of religious
practice dedicated to cultivating a just, multispecies community.
The book makes an important contribution to scholarship in
religious studies, political theory, English, environmental
studies, and critical theory by offering the first sustained
reading of Thoreau's religiously motivated politics. In
Balthrop-Lewis's vision, practices of renunciation like Thoreau's
can contribute to the reformation of social and political life. In
this, the book transforms Thoreau's image, making him a vital
source for a world beset by inequality and climate change.
Balthrop-Lewis argues for an environmental politics in which
ecological flourishing is impossible without economic and social
justice.
