"The most comprehensive anthology available on the convergence of ecology and religion, an essential link for our future on the planet. Every college should have a course on this topic, and they all should use this book."

--David Rothenberg, editor of Terra Novan and author of Hands End

"This collection, together with its excellent introductions, makes manifest the presence in our society of a new religious movement that crosses all traditional lines. For millions of people, now, a faith that does not celebrate the Earth is meaningless or worse. This book makes it clear that this faith exists. Perhaps it can rally the energies to change our collective behavior. It should be made widely available."

--Professor John B. Cobb, Claremont College

"...an impressive chorus of thoughtful voices urging that our efforts to attain spiritual wisdom be grounded in ecological wisdom"

--Whole Earth, Charlene Sprentak.

This is the first comprehensive survey of the critical connections between religion, nature and the environment. It includes writings from sacred texts and a broad spectrum of new eco-theological selections. Historical and contemporary selections from key authors and a multicultural range of sources make This Sacred Earth an invaluable teaching resource and a unique introduction to the theory and practice of religious environmentalism.
