Focusing on the reinterpretation of Christian scriptures, this book presents wilderness explorer John Muir's unique insights that challenge harmful uses of faith. Muir, akin to practitioners of lectio divina, uncovers deeper meanings within biblical texts, offering a refreshing perspective that promotes environmental preservation and compassion rather than destruction. Through his explorations, he encourages a harmonious relationship with nature and spirituality, providing a counter-narrative to contemporary misapplications of religious teachings.
