In the face of the current environmental crisis which clearly has
moral and spiritual dimensions members of all the world s faiths
have come to recognize the critical importance of religion s
relationship to ecology. The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Religion
and Ecology offers a comprehensive overview of the history and the
latest developments in religious engagement with environmental
issues throughout the world. Newly commissioned essays from noted
scholars of diverse faiths and scientific traditions present the
most cutting-edge thinking on religion s relationship to the
environment. Initial readings explore the ways traditional concepts
of nature in Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, and other
religious traditions have been shaped by the environmental crisis.
Readings then address the changing nature of theology and religious
thought in response to the challenges of protecting the
environment. Various conceptual issues and themes that transcend
individual traditions climate change, bio-ethics, social justice,
ecofeminism, and more are then analyzed before a final section
examines some of the immediate challenges we face in caring for the
Earth while looking to the future of religious environmentalism.
Timely and thought-provoking, Companion to Religion and Ecology
offers illuminating insights into the role of religion in the
ongoing struggle to secure the future well-being of our natural
world. With a foreword by Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I, and
an Afterword by John Cobb
