This book explores how religious groups work to create sustainable
relationships between people, places and environments. This
interdisciplinary volume deepens our understanding of this
relationship, revealing that the geographical imagination-our sense
of place-is a key aspect of the sustainability ideas and practices
of religious groups. The book begins with a broad examination of
how place shapes faith-based ideas about sustainability, with
examples drawn from indigenous Hawaiians and the sacred texts of
Judaism and Islam. Empirical case studies from North America,
Europe, Central Asia and Africa follow, illustrating how a local,
bounded, and sacred sense of place informs religious-based efforts
to protect people and natural resources from threatening economic
and political forces. Other contributors demonstrate that a
cosmopolitan geographical imagination, viewing place as extending
from the local to the global, shapes the struggles of Christian,
Jewish and interfaith groups to promote just and sustainable food
systems and battle the climate crisis.
