Recent decades have witnessed a surge of literature and activism
from religious leaders and thinkers on the natural environment.
Religions and Environments: A Reader in Religion, Nature and
Ecology brings together some of the most thought-provoking examples
of such writings from the nineteenth century up to today, spanning
a variety of methodological approaches and religious traditions,
viewpoints and locations. Religions and Environments: A Reader in
Religion, Nature and Ecology depicts some of the diverse ways that
religious narratives and practices have helped people connect to
the physical world around them. To do so, it is divided into three
parts: the wilderness, the garden, and the city. Traditions
represented include nature spiritualities, Asian traditions,
Judaism, Islam, Christianity, and indigenous traditions.Reflecting
the most current scholarship in the study of religion and nature,
as well as providing important historical essays, it draws on a
range of perspectives and methodologies, including historical,
theological, philosophical and literary methods. Each part contains
a critical introduction by the editor which provides an overview of
issues and guides students to key ideas. Section introductions also
provide an overview of the specific issues which arise in the
readings in each section. Each part also includes suggestions for
further reading and resources on the topics, making this the ideal
resource for courses on religion and the environment, religion and
ecology, and religion and nature.
