"John Grim and Mary Evelyn Tucker are two of the most well-known
figures advocating religious ecologies--the bridging of scientific
and religious worldviews. In their book Ecology and Religion, they
argue that the religious component is a 'missing link, ' 'an
important lens whereby humans can understand and reenvision their
roles as participants in the dynamic process of life.' ...In
volumes of this genre, their virtue must mirror their vice--that of
being both sketchy and simultaneously insightful. 'Painted in broad
brushstrokes, ' the book is cosmopolitan in the original Greek
sense, as in a citizen of the cosmos."-- "BioScience"
"The almost unimaginable environmental challenge humanity faces--a
daunting Gordian knot of science, plus ethical and moral
values--demands ways forward. Those will be found at the
intersection of science and religion. Nobody understands this
thicket--so filled with hope, promise and complexities--better than
John Grim and Mary Evelyn Tucker. Ecology and Religion lights the
path forward."--Thomas E. Lovejoy "University Professor of
Environmental Science and Policy, George Mason University"
