This Sacred Earth - Religion, Nature, Environment (Paperback, 2nd edition)

This Sacred Earth was the first comprehensive survey of the critical connections between religion, nature and the environment. In this second edition, Roger Gottlieb has added nearly forty new selections, dramatically expanding the book's multicultural range, chronicling the explosive growth of ecotheology and religious environmental activism, and including responses to globalization.
This Sacred Earth includes selections from sacred texts and a broad spectrum of new eco-theological writings. It begins with spiritual reflections by naturalists. Surveying traditional religious myths, creation stories, and conceptions of nature - with extensive selections from Jewish Christian, Native American, Indian, African, Chinese, and indigenous texts and commentators - the contributors focus on religion in the age of environmental crisis. We see how individuals and institutions are reinterpreting and transforming old traditions, and eco-feminists are challenging patriarchal perspectives. In the final section, contributors crystallize the complex relations between religion, ecology and society, including the role of religion in environmental political movements.
This ground-breaking collection offers a comprehensive examination of religion's complex relationship to the environment.
