Summary
Over the past several decades, the connections between ecology and all major religious perspectives, including the Abrahamic traditions, have been extensively explored. Due to such explosive growth in theological scholarship, official institutional commitments, and public action by the religious community, the environment has become an important topic in science–religion scholarship.
