- History Professor Explains Religious Origins of American Environmentalism
- Description
-
Texas Tech historian Mark Stoll‘s latest book, Inherit the Holy Mountain: Religion and the Rise of American Environmentalism (Oxford University Press, 2015), details how religion provided early American environmental leaders with the moral and cultural basis to champion the protection of the natural world.
Stoll argues in part that Pope Francis’ encyclical, Laudato Si’, is nothing new, but points environmentalism back towards its moral and religious roots. - https://www.eh-resources.org/podcast-68/ The Environment Was a Moral Issue Long Before Pope Francis: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mark-stoll/the-environment-was-a-mor_b_7716102.html Mark Stoll: http://www.markstoll.net/
