Abstract
Abstract: In this article, John Ruskin's extensive writings on mountains are understood as a window onto his broader epistemology. Building on recent studies of Ruskin's alpinism, his opposition to mountaineering among the Victorian middle classes is best understood when taking his vision as properly sacramental. Even through his changing interests, opinions, and religious beliefs, a natural theology that saw creation as the means of divine grace remained intelligible at the center of his thought. The vast scholarship on Ruskin has yet to fully grapple with the implications of his subtle, but very real, sacramental worldview.
