Bibliographies

Here you can access annotated bibliographies on the world’s religions and their approach to ecology and environmental issues. Below is also a bibliography on Spiritual Ecology. These bibliographies are updated every few years, so may not include the most recent titles. We are grateful for the input of many graduate students over the years.
