The Greening of Faith

Christianity is by no means the only religion with concerns about the current ecological crisis—nor is it the only tradition with ideas for how to resolve it. What can we learn from different ancient traditions around the globe about this global issue?


In Greening Faith: Insights from Judaism, Islam, and Buddhism, editor Tobias Winright gathers important reflections on the ecological crisis—and what might be done about it—from leading scholars specializing in different religious traditions. Combined, these reflections deftly illustrate the way that such a complex and universal moral issue—global ecological degradation—can urge diverse people to serious, renewed engagement with their own theological traditions.


Tobias Winright is an associate professor of theological ethics at Saint Louis University.
