Does ecology influence religious views? Do our beliefs depend on the landscapes that surround us and the animals we see? If Jesus had never seen lambs and only dealt with ostriches - would we know a completely different Christianity? And vice versa: does ecology depend on religion? How do monotheistic religions affect global warming, and Zoroastrianism - birds?
Through myths and histories, religious studies scholar Konstantin Mikhaylov explains why we believe in what we believe, how the environment influences us, and how we influence it. Australian myths and South African rituals, Polynesian voyages and wars between Native Americans and colonizers - chapter by chapter, the author shows how the formation of religion and the course of history are dependent on plants and animals, landscape and climate, and how major religions transform and change nature, helping us survive while sometimes destroying the environment.
