Religion and Ecological Crisis

Christian and Muslim Perspectives from John B. Cobb and Seyyed Hossein Nasr

About this book

Religion and Ecological Crisis delves into the complex relationship between religions and ecology, presenting Christian and Islamic perspectives on ecological issues through the work of John Boswell Cobb and Seyyed Hossein Nasr. It examines how faith traditions of the world see and respond to our current unprecedented climate change issues.

This is the first comparative study of Cobb and Nasr's eco-religious understanding, and explores how their prescriptions can contribute alternatively to techno-scientific initiatives in environmental sustainability. Taking Cobb's "economism" and Nasr's "scientism" as the key concepts for surveying the roots of the ecological crisis, the book offers interdisciplinary and interreligious insights into the debates about ecological equilibrium, motivational awareness in human mind and about entanglements between religion and the environment.

This will be an insightful resource for policy makers, faith leaders and for academics working in Environmental Studies and Religious Studies.
