Sacred Nature: Restoring Our Ancient Bond with the Natural World [Hardcover] ...

Product Overview

Format: Hardcover

From one of the most original thinkers on the role of religion in the modern
world, a profound exploration of the spiritual power of nature—and an urgent
call to reclaim that power in everyday life. "Much has been written on the
scientific and technological aspects of climate change.... But Armstrong’s
book is both more personal and more profound. Its urgent message is that
hearts and minds need to change if we are to once more learn to revere our
beautiful and fragile planet." —The GuardianSince the beginning of time,
humankind has looked upon nature and seen the divine. In the writings of the
great thinkers across religions, the natural world inspires everything from
fear, to awe, to tranquil contemplation; God, or however one defined the
sublime, was present in everything. Yet today, even as we admire a tree or
take in a striking landscape, we rarely see nature as sacred.In this short but
deeply powerful book, the best-selling historian of religion Karen Armstrong
re-sacralizes nature for modern times. Drawing on her vast knowledge of the
world’s religious traditions, she vividly describes nature’s central place in
spirituality across the centuries. In bringing this age-old wisdom to life,
Armstrong shows modern readers how to rediscover nature’s potency and form a
connection to something greater than ourselves.
