Book
Sacred nature : restoring our ancient bond with the natural world / Karen Armstrong.
An exploration of the spiritual power of nature--and an urgent call to reclaim that power in everyday life. Since the beginning of time, humankind has looked upon nature and seen the divine. In the writings of the great thinkers across religions, the natural world inspires everything from fear to awe to tranquil contemplation; God, or however one defined the sublime, was present in everything. Yet today, even as we admire a tree or take in a striking landscape, we rarely see nature as sacred. Karen Armstrong re-sacralizes nature for modern times. Drawing on her vast knowledge of the world's religious traditions, she describes nature's central place in spirituality across the centuries. She shows modern readers how to rediscover nature's potency and form a connection to something greater than ourselves.
