Wendell Berry and Religion

"Wendell Berry is our most important writer at work in this country. . . . [Wendell Berry and Religion] will help people see the roots of his work, beyond the idea that he is 'writing about farming.'"—Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature

"It may surprise some of Wendell Berry's many followers that his views have been greatly influenced by his Christian faith, and it may surprise some Christians that their communities and their theology very much need to be influenced by Berry's kind of Christianity. These are the insights we owe to the contributors of this important book."—Albert Borgmann, author of Real American Ethics

"Editors Joel J. Shuman and L. Roger Owens examine the theological themes found throughout Berry's work and seek to expose those Christian principles while at the same time critiquing them."—kydirect.net

"This is a remarkable collection for reference and reflection."—Mary Popham, The Courier Journal

"Presents the sophisticated, yet accessible writing of clear thinking, principled individuals who care deeply about their faith and the places and communities in which they live."—Christianity and Literature
