The Bloomsbury Handbook of Religion and Nature
Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-350-24279-1 (ISBN)
The editors provide an extensive introduction to the book, as well as useful introductions to each of its parts. The volume’s international contributors are drawn from the USA, South Africa, Netherlands, Norway, Indonesia, and South Korea, and offer a variety of perspectives, voices, cultural settings, and geographical locales.
This handbook shows that human concern and engagement with material existence is present in all sectors of the global community, regardless of religious tradition. It challenges the traditional methodological approach of comparative religion, and argues that globalization renders a comparative religious approach to the environment insufficient.
