This Sacred Earth

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 commentaries. The complex relations between religion, ecology and society, including the religious role in environmental political movements, are also examined. The second edition reflects the last decade's tremendous growth and transformation of scholarly, theological and activist religious environmentalism.
