This book provides three chapters from Green Discipleship: Catholic Theological Ethics and the Environment, Tobias Winright, editor. Christianity is by no means the only religion with concerns about the current ecological crisis--nor is it the only tradition with ideas for how to resolve it. In The Greening of Faith: Insights from Judaism, Islam, and Buddhism, editor Tobias Winright gathers important reflections on the ecological crisis from leading scholars specializing in different traditions. Drawing on a wide range of Jewish texts and thinkers, historian and Jewish studies professor Hava Tirosh-Samuelson traces the ecological impulse from ancient to modern Jewish thought. June-Ann Greeley, a comparative theologian, uses the rich text of the Qur'an to demonstrate Islam's long-standing commitment to the health of this earth, as well as the Muslim's role in protecting the natural world. Finally, as a scholar of comparative religious ethics, David Clairmont presents a Buddhist case for ecological sensitivity, including some of Buddhism's compelling modern gestures of activism and advocacy. Combined, these selections deftly illustrate the way that such a complex and universal moral issue--global ecological degradation--can urge people to serious, renewed engagement with their own theological traditions.
