Thoreaus Religion presents a ground-breaking interpretation of Henry David Thoreaus most famous book, Walden. Rather than treating Walden Woods as a lonely wilderness, Balthrop-Lewis demonstrates that Thoreaus ascetic life was a form of religious practice dedicated to cultivating a just, multispecies community. The book makes an important contribution to scholarship in religious studies, political theory, English, environmental studies, and critical theory by offering the first sustained reading of Thoreaus religiously motivated politics. In Balthrop-Lewiss vision, practices of renunciation like Thoreaus can contribute to the reformation of social and political life. In this, the book transforms Thoreaus image, making him a vital source for a world beset by inequality and climate change. Balthrop-Lewis argues for an environmental politics in which ecological flourishing is impossible without economic and social justice.
