Editorial Review:

History illustrates the power of religion to bring about change. Mary Evelyn Tucker describes how world religions have begun to move from a focus on God-human and human-human relations to encompass human-earth relations. She argues that, in light of the environmental crisis, religion should move from isolated orthodoxy to interrelated dialogue and use its authority for liberation rather than oppression.

To re-envision our role as citizens of the universe:

To this end, chapters discuss how religious structures and thoughts can influence such diverse topics as environmental preservation, resource management, and conflicts between tradition and modernity.
