Toward an Ecology of Transfiguration

"I rate this as perhaps the signature work on Orthodoxy and the Environment (and Nature) available in English. [Its] range of topics and specializations make it useful for people who are not Orthodox and for those with diverse academic backgrounds. It is difficult to imagine anyone who cannot learn or benefit from some chapters or parts of this book." -- -Daniel P. Buxhoeveden Research Professor, Founder and Director of the Religion and Science Initiative, University of South Carolina "I must say from the onset that my enthusiasm can hardly be contained!... To my knowledge there are no books currently being offered that provide the depth and scholarship found here... This manuscript has gathered the best in the field and collated them into what certainly can become a foundational text book for further academic study." -- -Rev. Chad Hatfield Saint Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary "This anthology is a monumental contribution to the literature on religion and ecology. The abundant contributions of the Orthodox tradition to seeing into the sacred depths of nature are evident in this rich collection of essays. It will stand as a classic in the field for years to come and help reshape reflections on our shared planetary future." -- -Mary Evelyn Tucker Forum on Religion at Ecology at Yale
