Religions of the World and Ecology

The Religions of the World and Ecology series, published from 1997 to 2003, examines nine religious traditions and their ecological implications. These volumes result from a three-year research project conducted at the CSWR under the direction of Mary Evelyn Tucker and John Grim; the project involved the direct participation and collaboration of some 600 scholars, religious leaders, and environmental specialists from around the world. More information on the project may be found in the history section and the Religion and the Environment resource page of this website. The series foreword is available online.
