In the writings of the great thinkers of many religions, the natural world inspires fear, awe, and tranquil contemplation; God, or however one defined the sublime, was present in everything. Yet today, as we admire a tree or a landscape, we rarely see nature as sacred. Drawing on her vast knowledge of the world's religious traditions, Karen Armstrong vividly describes nature's central place in spirituality across the centuries. In bringing this age-old wisdom to life, Armstrong shows how to rediscover nature's potency and form a connection to something greater than ourselves.
