These rigorous essays by leading scholars are painful but vital reading as they direct our attention again and again to specific species, including our own. Certain to be of interest across the environmental humanities, this volume in its methodological variety and thematic diversity will shape the field.\"—Peter Manley Scott, University of Manchester\u003cbr\u003e \"The solutions to the problems of climate change, loss of places, and mass extinction cannot be found in better science and greener technology alone. As the essays in this volume so clearly argue, we must also address our basic desires, dreams, hopes, and despairs, in order to stay connected to the earth and fellow earthlings, and in order to work toward healing our planetary ills.\"—Whitney Bauman, Florida International University\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eHuman-caused extinctions have never been so prominent in our political and cultural landscape. \u003ci\u003eExtinction and Religion \u003c\/i\u003eis a collection of wide-ranging chapters that explore the implications for religious faith and experience as it relates to a \"sixth mass extinction\" in Earth's history. Further it seeks to answer the question as to how religious and spiritual practices are shaping responses to the crisis?\u003cbr\u003e Edited by Jeremy H. Kidwell and Stefan Skrimshire, this collection aims to set a new postsecular agenda, articulating the questions, challenges, and ways forward for thinking about religion in an age of mass extinction rather than provide responses from world religions in isolation. It covers subjects such as the multitude of challenges posed by mass extinction to beliefs about the future of humanity, death and the afterlife, the integrity of creation, and the relationship between human and nonhuman life.\u003cbr\u003e Wide ranging and incisive, \u003ci\u003eExtinction and Religion \u003c\/i\u003eamply demonstrates the many ways in which the threat of extinction profoundly affects our faith and religious life worlds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword, by Catherine Keller\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e Introduction: Questioning Extinction, Questioning Religion, by Jeremy H.
