"And if that’s not enough diversity on the pro-environment bookshelf, mythologist John Lamb Lash has a book to help unpack pre-Christian paganism and its promise for building kinship between humans and earth. Not in His Image: Gnostic Vision, Sacred Ecology and the Future of Belief (Chelsea Green, 978-1-931498-92-0) blames Christianity’s focus on a father god for setting in motion historical patterns of destruction. A more earth-friendly politics, Lash suggests, would likely emerge from greater attention paid to pagan myths and goddess worship."
