Albertina Nugteren Belief, Bounty, and Beauty, Rituals around Sacred Trees in India. Leiden, Boston: Brill, 2005. 1 online resource (x, 509 pages). text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Studies in the history of religions ; Volume 108 Includes bibliographical references (pages [445]-505) and index. This study is focused on the interaction of material and symbolic values in the domain of sacred trees in India. By presenting samples from 3,000 years of Indian ritual practice, it is shown that in many sacred geographies trees continue to connect the present with the past, the material with the symbolic, and the contemporary ecological with the traditionally sacred. Although in India religion may have become very much a temple cult, its embeddedness in the natural world enhances today's 'green' interpretation of religious traditions. That in environmental matters such religious inspiration may be both successful and highly ambivalent at the same time is the thought-provoking position taken in the final chapters.
