SUMMARY:Wildness and Henry David Thoreau
DESCRIPTION:Join Professor Willsky-Ciollo as she explores how Thoreau was enmeshed in a decades-spanning project of crafting a theology of wildness. The focus of Thoreau’s theology—wildness itself—centers on the divinity extant in every person and in every molecule of creation.  In his writings\, Thoreau leaves the door open to his readers\, who he hoped would pick up the pen where he left off and write their own theologies of wildness.Members Free | $10 Non-Members | Free Virtual \n\n\n\n\nRegister
