In "Christianity, Wilderness, and Wildlife", Susan Bratton brings to life the tradition of Christian wilderness spirituality, from Old Testament accounts of Noah and Moses to Celtic monasteries and the Franciscan order. She traces a long history of divine encounters in biblical literature, including 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 environmentalism and spirituality.
