World Soul

Paganism is one of the fastest-growing religions in the Western world, and with good reason. Millions have found its embrace of diverse religious experiences, its reverence for the Earth and living beings, and its acknowledgement of the divine nature of the natural world to feel like a spiritual homecoming. In this book, Catherine Carr packs brief but rich discussions of the practices, beliefs, and values of modern Pagans alongside comparisons of Pagan theology to other world religions. She focuses on an assessment of how the ideas contained within Pagan theology can address the most pressing humanitarian and environmental crises of today. A former clinical research coordinator and current futurist, Catherine brings data from a dizzying array of scientific disciplines and world religious systems to bear on the question of what Paganism teaches, to what extent these ideas are scientifically supported, and how theology can either save or destroy our world.
