Routledge Handbook of Religion and Ecology - Academic Book

The Routledge Handbook of Religion and Ecology offers a comprehensive and authoritative overview of how religious values and interpretive systems shape our understanding of sustainability. As societies work to improve ecosystem resilience and human well-being, this volume explores the deep connections between religious traditions and environmental challenges. This handbook examines how different communities approach ecological issues through their unique attitudes and practices. It provides a space for both appreciative and critical perspectives, looking at various religious traditions and their impact on the natural world. By presenting contrasting ways of thinking about the concepts of religion and ecology, the text helps readers understand the complex ways these two fields connect. Designed for students, researchers, and academics, this book serves as a vital resource for anyone studying the intersection of faith and the environment. It moves beyond simple definitions to explore how moral values influence the way people imagine and respond to the global environmental landscape.
