John Grim and Mary Evelyn Tucker contend that today's growing environmental challenges make the relationship ever more vital.This primer explores the history of religious traditions and the environment, illustrating how religious teachings and practices both promoted and at times subverted sustainability. Subsequent chapters examine the emergence of religious ecology, as views of nature changed in religious traditions and the ecological sciences. Yet the authors argue that religion and ecology are not the province of institutions or disciplines alone. They describe four fundamental aspects of religious life: orienting, grounding, nurturing, and transforming. Readers then see how these phenomena are experienced in a Native American religion, Orthodox Christianity, Confucianism, and Hinduism.Ultimately, Grim and Tucker argue that the engagement of religious communities is necessary if humanity is to sustain itself and the planet. Students of environmental ethics, theology and ecology, world religions, and environmental studies will receive a solid grounding in the burgeoning field of religious ecology. 606 $aEcology$xReligious aspects 606 $aEcology$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aReligion$2HILCC 606 $aPhilosophy & Religion$2HILCC 606 $aReligion - General$2HILCC 615 0$aEcology$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aEcology$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 7$aReligion 615 7$aPhilosophy & Religion 615 7$aReligion - General 676 $a201/.77 700 $aGrim$b John$01805746 702 $aTucker$b Mary Evelyn 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962745503321 996 $aEcology and religion$94354521 997 $aUNINA
