Religion, Sustainability, and Place Moral Geographies of the Anthropocene

“The book is a potentially fabulous teaching resource, especially for courses where religion is a relevant secondary variable. … The thread of chapters that take up food and sustainability … would make for an engaging module on religion, food, and sustainability. Scholars researching or teaching on the religious aspects of sustainability movements will find much on offer in this volume.” (Evan Berry, Journal for the Study of Religion, Nature and Culture, March 2, 2023)
