Reviews

This book is like a breath of fresh air. Many ecotheologians have begun to pay more attention to literature of wider relevance, including agrarian writers such as Aldo Leopold and Wendell Berry. What has not yet happened, and what this book beautifully illustrates, is that those working in the environmental humanities are able to make a vitally important contribution to ecotheology. I fully endorse the premise of this book that it is high time for a much richer trans-disciplinary conversation to take place and for those in the environmental humanities to wake up to the resources embedded in religious and explicitly ecotheological literature. As this is worked out in practice, some brilliantly original elements come to the surface and take the field forward in new ways. The inclusion of the importance of music, for example, is rarely if ever discussed in ecotheology literatures. This book will be fascinating both for those beginning to encounter this field and the seasoned scholar. -- Celia Deane-Drummond, University of Notre Dame
