New Book Release: Religious Self-Cultivation and Environmental Flourishing by Anthony Le Duc Explores the Role of Religion in Addressing Ecological Challenges
Germany-based publisher Verlag Franz Schmitt has published a thought-provoking new book by Anthony Le Duc, Executive Director of the Asian Research Center for Religion and Social Communication (ARC). Titled Religious Self-Cultivation and Environmental Flourishing: A Humanistic Relational Approach, this insightful work delves into how religious traditions can guide humanity toward a more sustainable and harmonious future. The book is available in English and spans 286 pages.
In an era marked by mounting ecological crises and societal tensions, Le Duc offers a fresh perspective by proposing that the solution lies in personal transformation through religious self-cultivation. Drawing upon the wisdom of Buddhism, Confucianism, Islam, and Christianity, he argues that achieving social harmony and ecological well-being requires individuals to cultivate inner virtues and adopt a relational, humanistic approach to life.
The book highlights the interconnectedness of human flourishing and environmental health, emphasizing that authentic hope for the future depends on addressing not just external challenges but the spiritual concerns at the heart of today’s global issues. With its interdisciplinary approach, Religious Self-Cultivation and Environmental Flourishing is expected to appeal to scholars, environmentalists, and anyone interested in the intersection of religion, humanism, and environmental ethics.
Anthony Le Duc is known for his extensive work in religious environmentalism. As the Executive Director of the Asian Research Center for Religion and Social Communication at St. John’s University in Thailand, Le Duc leads research initiatives focusing on religion and social issues. He also serves as chief editor of the peer-reviewed journal Religion and Social Communication and lectures in Christian Studies at Saengtham College. His writings often explore critical contemporary themes, such as digital development, migration, and environmental sustainability through the lens of religion.
This latest publication underscores Le Duc’s ongoing commitment to exploring how religious thought can contribute to solving modern societal and ecological problems. With its timely message and comprehensive approach, Religious Self-Cultivation and Environmental Flourishing is poised to become an essential resource for those seeking deeper insights into the role of spirituality in addressing the world’s most pressing issues.
