"When conservative evangelical Christians call for action on global warming, Hindu holy men dedicate themselves to saving sacred rivers and Buddhist monks work with Islamic mullahs to try to halt the extinction crisis, boundaries are clearly being redrawn in the ongoing struggle for the political hearts and minds of the world's believers. Faith-based environmental activism is soaring, and with it comes new criticism that some religious leaders are straying from church doctrine." (E MAGAZINE) The author examines the rise in a movement by many of the world's religions to make environmental concerns a priority.
