| Summary: | This brief article is a response to Bron Taylor’s essay ‘Exploring Religion, Nature and Culture - Introducing the Journal for the Study of Religion, Nature and Culture’, in the Journal’s inaugural issue (2007: 5-24). Taylor’s essay is a lucid investigation of the meaning of the three terms central to the Journal - religion, nature, and culture - across the spectrum of their related and contested meanings. He successfully makes the case for the Journal as intellectual habitat for the developing field of religion and ecology without policing the boundaries that divide and separate the phenomenon of religion. He invites readers of and contributors to the Journal to utilize ‘the widest possible range of scholarly approaches to understanding the relationships among what we variously understand to be the natural and religious dimensions of human life and culture’ (Taylor 2007: 6). |
