  • Argues that contemporary ideas and practices concerning nature and technology are radically conditioned by the religious history of the West
  • Explores how relations with nature and technology remain closely bound up with religious ways of thinking and acting
  • Shows how the history of religion and our practical and theoretical relationship with nature cannot be separated
  • Uses examples from North America, Europe and elsewhere, many derived from original research
  • Explores a range of contemporary cultural phenomena, such as environmental politics, technological risk behaviour, alternative medicine, vegetarianism and ethical consumption, as sites of struggle between different sacral orderings
  • Points towards a new framing for today's critical discourse concerning nature and technology, as a moment within the religious history of the West.
