In the face of the environmental crisis, believers from all the
world's faith traditions have come to recognize that religion's
relation to ecology is of critical importance. Vital new
theologies, profound criticisms of the past, and ecologically
oriented visions of God, Enlightenment, and human beings have
arisen. Religious morality has expanded to include human relations
to other species and ecosystems, and religious practice has come to
include rituals that express our grief and remorse as well as
celebrate what is left. Religious leaders and institutions have
committed themselves to a new green gospel, and in countless places
across the globe people engage in environmental activism for
religious reasons. This book serves as the definitive scholarly
overview of these exciting new developments. Part I explores
traditional religious concepts of and attitudes toward nature and
how these have been changed by the environmental crisis. Part II
analyzes conceptual issues that transcend individual traditions.
Part III examines religious participation in environmental
politics. With essays by the leading scholars in the field, many of
whom have themselves been instrumental in the rise of religious
environmentalism, this Handbook will be invaluable to anyone
interested in religion, environmentalism, and the future of our
planet.
