Description
This interdisciplinary book explores the science and spirituality nexus in the Pacific Islands Region and as such makes a critical contribution to sustainable climate change adaptation in Oceania. In addition to presenting case studies, literary analyses, field projects, and empirical research, the book describes faith-engaged approaches through the prism of: Context: past, present, and future prospects Theory: concepts, narratives, and theoretical frameworks Practice: empirical research and praxis-informed case examples Doctrine: scriptural contributions and perspectives Engagement: enlisting religious stakeholders and constituencies Comprising peer-reviewed works by scholars, professionals, and practitioners from across Oceania, the book closes a critical gap in the literature and represents a groundbreaking contribution to holistic climate change adaptation in the Pacific Islands Region that is scientifically sound, spiritually attuned, locally meaningful, and contextually compelling.

"This collection suitably sets the agenda for further labors. It is to be very much recommended and will hopefully stir practicing scientists from a worrying myopia over spiritual approaches toward environmental health and crises, for global solutions . ." (Garry W. Trompf, Journal for the Study of Religion, Nature and Culture, June 20, 2023)More details
