In Martin Heidegger, this type of technology is an exploitative “setting-upon” nature, rather than “bringing-forth” nature’s latent possibilities in a manner that is site-appropriate and organic. Healthy interactions with nature are resonant with the “incantatory gesture” characteristic of Christian animism: summoning the presence of the numinous within the everyday. Glossing Mary Douglas, this chapter shows that Jesus, the good shaman, is a model of “bringing-forth” when he mixes saliva and dirt together to heal the blind man in John 9. According to René Girard, however, nature is not a site of healing but of dangerous boundary-violations. The chapter concludes with a vignette about the pileated woodpecker, sometimes called the “Lord God!” bird by awestruck onlookers. Like the aerial Spirit at Jesus’ baptism, catching sight of this avian deity reconciles the two orders of being—divinity and animality—Girard seeks to drive apart.","PeriodicalId":257868,"journal":{"name":"When God Was a Bird","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130448945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Muir’s nature evangelism came at the price of rhetorically abetting the forced removal of Native Americans from their homes within the fledgling national parks movement. Notwithstanding this stain on Muir’s legacy, his thought is notable for rethinking the full arc of Jesus’ life—John the Baptist, departure into wilderness, temple money-changers, and crucifixion—in deeply personal terms that are environmental and biblically sonorous. Muir advocates a two books\u0000 theology in which the Bible and the Earth are equally compelling revelatory “texts.” His Yosemite spirituality reaches its apogee in his 1870 “woody gospel letter,” a paean to a homophilic, orgasmic religion of sensual delight: “Come suck Sequoia and be saved.” In Muir’s spirit, the chapter concludes that Christianity is still not Christianity because of its erstwhile hostility to embodied existence.","PeriodicalId":257868,"journal":{"name":"When God Was a Bird","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125557940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
