Publisher Marketing:”Midway upon the journey of our life / I found myself within a forest dark.” Dante’sInfernobegins with imagery of the wilderness marked by darkness, fear, and the unknown. In folktales, legends, and children’s stories, the wilderness is a place of conflict and exile. Yet there is another spiritual tradition that embraces the complexities of the wilderness as a place of rejuvenation and wonder–a place where Thomas Merton said “man purges himself of ‘sediments of society’ and becomes a new creature.”

A book for those of us who revel in the beauty and mystery of the natural world,Wild Beliefbrings together poets and prophets, saints and storytellers from across the ages who share a common search for the spirit. Their explorations of forests, wetlands, and deserts expose the wilderness as both a fearful and a sacred space–a tension that aptly captures the unknown and surprising elements of belief. As we join them on their search for the divine, our eyes open to the possibilities of transformation, to our most fundamental stories, and to a fertile spirituality we can only find in the wild.
