Bringing together thirteen new essays on the important relationship between traditional world spirituality and the contemporary environmental perspective of deep ecology, this landmark book explores parallels and contrasts between religious values and those proposed by deep ecology. In examining how deep ecologists and the various religious traditions can both learn from and critique one another, the following traditions are considered: indigenous cultures, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Judaism, Catholicism, Islam, Protestantism, Christian ecofeminism, and New Age spirituality.
Sacred Longings responds to the suffering and poverty produced by globalization. It tackles the fact that we are an addictive society trapped by the market's seductions. Should we really allow the market to dictate what we want? That is is the question that Mary Grey poses and refutes throughout this powerful and moving critique of the destructive impact globalization causes in the 21st century. Grey argues that there is a deeper language of desire concealing what humanity really wants. How can the resources of theology, Church and faith community be harnessed in this search? Have they lost their way, to some extent complicit in the market's dictates? Weaving story and myth creatively, the book explores the eco-mystical path, attempting to recover positive theological resources - within and beyond Christianity - for a renewed spiritual quest. Yet the answer presents a surprising paradox: recovering what we really yearn for will mean creating and participating in a cluture of communities of simplicity and voluntary sacrifice. Sacred Longings is a powerful call to action and is essential reading for anyone concerned with the destructive effects of unrestrained globalization. Mary Grey is an ecofeminist liberation theologian and social activist. As a writer, Professorial Fellow at St Mary's University College, Twickenham and Trustee of the NGO 'Wells for India', her aim is to offer a theological response to the problems of poverty and social justice in contemporary society. Her many publications include Redeeming the Dream (1989) Feminist Images of the Sacred (2001).
Internationally acclaimed author and teacher Rosemary Radford Ruether presents a sweeping ecofeminist theology that illuminates a path toward "earth-healing"--a whole relationship between men and women, communities and nations. "This is theology that really matters."--Harvey Cox

Globalism, colonialism, and consumerism have caused unjust suffering (han), for the earth's exploited peoples and the exploited lands.
