Christianity, Wilderness, and Wildlife

In "Christianity, Wilderness, and Wildlife," Susan Bratton brings to life the tradition of Christian wilderness spirituality, from Noah s and Moses experiences in the Old Testament to Celtic monasteries and the Franciscan order. She traces a long history of divine encounters in biblical literature such as visions, providential protection, spiritual guidance and calls to leadership all of which highlight the importance of nature in Christian thought. This book will command the attention of the growing audience for works at the intersection of environment and spirituality."
