Beschreibung
How are the different worldviews and religions as well as their alleged
contributions to sustainable development incorporated in the academic
disciplines of religious studies and theology? This theme is explored from
the perspectives of Jewish, Islamic, Buddhist, Hindu, modern and
indigenous spiritual traditions worldwide. Cases are presented from
Western Europe, North America, Malaysia, India, and Africa. This
publication shows that the cross-cutting of the arenas of sustainable
development and religion in higher education constitutes a diverse yet
little explored field, and presents the first steps to document its
bounty.
