Thoreau's Religion demonstrates that Thoreau's ascetic life was a form of religious practice dedicated to cultivating a just, multispecies community. In Balthrop-Lewis's vision, practices of renunciation like Thoreau's can contribute to the reformation of social and political life. In this, the book transforms Thoreau's image, making him a vital source for a world beset by inequality and climate change.
