Abstract:
A comprehensive resource book that highlights and seeks to evaluate the merits or otherwise of contemporary ecotheologies. Concern for the environment has developed and intensified over the last few decades to the point where it now dominates much of our contemporary political landscape and culture. The rise of religious environmentalism in particular adds its own distinctive voice to the debate, for it seeks to trace both the malaise and a potential solution to environmental understanding. I.
