The essays in this much-needed and well-edited anthology provide up-to-date reflection on religious themes and teachings that can help us think about the proper place of humans in earth's ecosystems. Many Heavens, One Earth is at once readable enough for beginners and authoritative enough for use by scholars. Clifford Chalmers Cain has done a great service for religious scholarship and the world in assembling this collection of readings. -- Marti J. Steussy, Christian Theological Seminary, Indianapolis Clifford Chalmers Cain['s]...collection would make a good resource for an undergraduate or graduate course interested in religion and the environment. -- Perry Kea, University of Indianapolis
