your source for information about the complex relationships among the religious perceptions and practices of the earth’s peoples and their diverse environments.

ReligionandNature.com hosts the International Society for the Study of Religion, Nature and Culture, and features important scholarly works, including the award-winning Encyclopedia of Religion and Nature, and the Society-affiliated Journal for the Study of Religion, Nature and Culture.

ReligionandNature.com's Forum provides news and resources for the media, concerned citizens, and scholars who wish to keep abreast of developments in the exciting and raucously interdisciplinary religion and nature field. The Forum also will provide a venue for ongoing discussion, debate, and collaboration. We hope that all who are interested in the nexus of what is variously understood to be ‘religion,’ ‘spirituality,’ ‘nature’ and ‘ecology,’ – and who wish to deepen their understanding of the relationships between ecosystems and religious perceptions and practices -- will find much of value, and return regularly, to our web site.

The international Society for the Study of Religion and Nature is pleased to announce that its third International Meeting will be held 23-26 July 2009, in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The theme is “Religion, Nature, and Progress,” and conference information appears at the ISSRNC website via the conferences page.

The Encyclopedia of Religion and Nature is being published in a high quality paperback edition with a pre-publication price, through May 2008, that mere mortals can afford: $150.00, directly through Continuum International Publishers Online Bookstore. It can also be purchased at other online bookstores. See the ERN order page for direct links to them, where prices are sometimes significantly lower than at the publishers website.

We are happy to announce that RelgionandNature.com has undergone a significant revision that will make it more useful to scholars, the media, and general public; and this is only the beginning of the process! Please take a look around and see the changes and planned additions.
