Dick Engberg sent me G. Tracy Mehan III's thoughtful review of Robert Nelson's The New Holy Wars: Economic Religion Versus Environmental Religion in Contemporary America.
Mehan's review also includes a discussion of the 2005 documentary Grizzly Man, the tale of the late Timothy 'Grizzly Man' Treadwell, by the German director Werner Herzog, which might involve another kind of “secular theology” as described by Nelson.
The review will appear in The Environmental Forum.
Enjoy!
"The author [Nelson] '...aims to deconstruct modern economics and the environmental movement, purporting to reveal them as literal religions. These are attenuated Protestant sects, “Calvinism minus God,” complete with a Creation story, Garden of Eden, the Fall, and a path to Salvation.' ” - G. Tracy Mehan III
