Farmer, poet, essayist, and environmental writer Wendell Berry
is acclaimed for his ideas regarding the values inherent in an
agricultural society. Place, community, good work, and simple
pleasures are but a few of the values that form the bedrock of
Berry's thought. While the notion of reverence is central to Berry,
he is not widely known as a religious writer. However, the moral
underpinnings of his work are rooted in Christian tradition,
articulating the tenet that faith and stewardship of the land are
not mutually exclusive. In Wendell Berry and Religion, editors Joel
J. Shuman and L. Roger Owens probe the moral and spiritual
implications of Berry's work. Chief among them are the notions that
the earth is God's provisional gift to mankind and that studying
how we engage material creation reflects important truths. This
collection reveals deep, thoughtful, and provocative conversations
within Berry's writings, illuminating the theological inspirations
inherent in his work.
