Summary: "A range of developments, including the growth of the environmental humanities, recent critiques of secularism and the development of the notion of post secularity, and the so-called ontological turn in cultural history and anthropology, have all renewed interest in the way that religions, and particularly Christianity have shaped our collective relationship with, and understanding of, the natural environment. This Cambridge Companion addresses this renewed interest in an interdisciplinary manner. It brings together contributors from the disciplines of classics, English, environmental ethics, literary studies, history, the history and philosophy of science, philosophy, religious studies, and theology. The chapters that make up this volume offer original contributions to this fascinating and important topic that are accessible to university-level students and readers"-- Provided by publisher

内容説明・目次

内容説明

Christianity has understood the environment as a gift to nurture and steward, a book of divine revelation disclosing the divine mind, a wild garden in need of cultivation and betterment, and as a resource for the creation of a new Eden. This Cambridge Companion details how Christianity, one of the world's most important religions, has shaped one of the existential issues of our age, the environment. Engaging with contemporary issues, including gender, traditional knowledge, and enchantment, it brings together the work of international scholars on the subject of Christianity and the Environment from a diversity of fields. Together, their work offers a comprehensive guide to the complex relationship between Christianity and the environment that moves beyond disciplinary boundaries. To do this, the volume explains the key concepts concerning Christianity and the environment, outlines the historical development of this relationship from antiquity to the present, and explores important contemporary issues.
