ABOUT THIS BOOK
Do animals have immortal souls? Does Christ's work include animals? How does God value animals?
Renowned animal rights intellectual Andrew Linzey and Dorothy Yamamoto edit the now-classic collection of works examining religious and ethical thought on humanity's relationship to animals. The contributors address issues within the context of scriptural perspectives, the Christian tradition, historical disputes, and our obligations to animals. In addition, many of the authors provide guidance on how to put humane, progressive ideas into practice. Throughout, the contributors challenge mainstream Christianity's propagation of ideas that negative impact animals' lives and well-being.
