The Lost Gospel Of The Earth : Revised and Updated

"Beautifully argued and well-written."-Publishers Weekly Originally published in 1996 and now completely revised and updated, legendary activist Tom Hayden's The Lost Gospel of the Earth demonstrates how a spiritual re-awakening is needed within the major religions in order to save the environment and the planet. Drawing upon the work of major thinkers such as Henry David Thoreau, St. Francis of Assisi, and the Dalai Lama, Hayden writes that religion is the answer to today's environmental crisis and calls for a revamping of traditional religious doctrines to include guidelines for taking care of the earth and acknowledging the dependency of our own lives on its healthful existence.
