Description
This Sacred Earth is the first comprehensive survey of the critical connections between religion, nature and the environment. It includes writings from sacred texts and a broad spectrum of new eco-theological selections as well as historical and contemporary selections from key authors and a multicultural range of sources. The book surveys 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. It also focuses on religion in an age of environmental crisis. Exploring religious rituals that help us respond to nature, the complex relations between religion, ecology and society, including the religious role in environmental political movements are also examined.
