5.0 out of 5 stars Superb look at the idea Earth is sacred the Universe Divine, 26 May 1999

By A Customer

This book is surely one of the most extraordinary books written in recent years about the subject of religion. It's author is a professional writer educated at the London School of Economics and Cambridge University who brings to the task a comfortably direct style accessible to any reader of English. If you are concerned about the Earth and the way we are treating it in our culture you will want to read his book. Harrison shows us how humanity can make this a better world by applying the principles and values of the ancient, long neglected, but now revived philosophy of Pantheism.

The basic idea of Pantheism is that the Earth is sacred and the Universe is divine, that there is no personal divinity, only the Universe itself. He makes the point that the Universe is all that is and it exists without judging humans but humans are deeply connected to every element in this universe which means we have a special responsibility to the Earth and to each other. In other words he shows Pantheism to be deeply ethical and scientifically valid.

The book takes the reader on a swift over view of Pantheism throughout the centuries and in cultures east and west including elements of the Pantheist philosophy found in the monotheism of the West. He does so evenhandedly and with respect for all religions. I recommend the book to all seekers interested in discovering an ancient and respectable religious tradition re-emerging in our time. I think it is a great book.
