Weather, Religion, and Climate Change is a groundbreaking exploration of the profound influence of weather on various fields, including religion, art, culture, history, science, and architecture. In a critical dialogue with meteorology and climate science, this book delves beyond the confines of contemporary thinking about the Anthropocene and investigates whether a deeper understanding of weather can impact the relationship between nature and the self. Through a wide range of examples, including paintings by J.M.W. Turner, medieval sacred architecture, and Aristotle's classical Meteorologica, Bergmann examines a geographically and historically diverse range of cultural practices, religious practices, and worldviews in which weather emerges as a central, sacred force of life. He also explores the history of scientific meteorology and its complex commodification in the modern world, as well as medieval weather witchery and biblical perceptions of weather as a measure of God's love.
Overall, this volume explores the notion that a renewed awareness of weather and its atmospheres can serve as a profound cultural and spiritual driving force that can transcend the limitations of the Anthropocene and pave the way for the Ecocene, the age of nature. Drawing on methodologies from religious studies, cultural studies, art history, philosophy, environmental ethics, and aesthetics, history, and theology, this book will be of immense interest to scholars and researchers seeking to study the environment from a transdisciplinary perspective on weather and wisdom.
