Religion and Ecology is a relatively new field of study that has developed over a period of time. Within the last 20 years, it has seen more rapid development and garnered a great deal of interest and attention. In his book Ecology and Religion, David Kinsley describes the convergence of the two areas as (1) philosophical, theoretical, or structural, and (2) moral, ethical, or spiritual. Kinsley uses the term ecological spirituality to further define this area as ethical, moral, or religious tendencies relating to ecological issues. Great strides have been made in acknowledging that this is a credible and important academic and cultural area of study, and it is now being recognized as an academic field. Some academic institutions offer specialized studies through the departments of religion and anthropology, as well as in other academic programs. This article offers an explanation of the various aspects of the emerging field of Religion and Ecology (note that more attention will be paid to Christianity).
