This essay discusses three recent books which each offer an integrative account of religious ethics and the environment. Religious environmental ethics is an area of inquiry within the larger field of religion and ecology. After a narrative that contextualizes the development of religious environmental ethics in relation to the environmental social movement, I describe the formation of the field including its focus on worldview, the “cosmological turn,” and its engagement with science, the “cosmic turn.” E lizabeth J ohnson exemplifies the cosmic turn by developing a C hristian theology of life in nature which explicitly accepts D arwin's theory of evolution. W illis J enkins advocates a prophetic pragmatism and critiques a focus on worldview that is abstracted from practice and defers moral responsibility. L arry R asmussen joins analysis of worldview with reflection on cross‐cultural resources for “anticipatory communities” of moral formation to catalyze change. I argue with R asmussen that religious environmental ethics needs multiple approaches and should allow room for methodological pluralism
