More Book Details

Description of the Book:

about ecology and the Abrahamic traditions. David Mevorach
Seidenberg challenges the anthropocentric reading of the Torah, showing
that a radically different orientation to the more-than-human world
of Nature is not only possible, but that such an orientation also leads to
a more accurate interpretation of scripture, rabbinic texts, Maimonides,
and Kabbalah. Deeply grounded in traditional texts and fluent with the
physical sciences, this book proposes not only a new understanding of
God’s image but also a new direction for restoring religion to its senses
and to a more alive relationship with the more-than-human, both with
Nature and with divinity.”, ‘xxi, 397 pages : 24 cm’, ‘”Kabbalah and Ecology is a groundbreaking book that resets the conversation about ecology and the Abrahamic traditions.
