ABOUT THE BOOK:
In this book Andrew Linzey provides a new Christian credo for animals. Our
treatment of animals is a gospel issue, he contends, because those
individuals and institutions that could have become the voice of God's most
vulnerable creatures have instead justified cruelty and oppression.
Linzey offers an inspiring personal account of the gospel truths that have
sustained his commitment to the cause of animals for more than twenty-five
years. In doing so he makes a strong and moving case for a radically
reformed faith, one that allows the gospel of the crucified Christ to
interpret the world of innocent suffering.
"Andrew Linzey's theology is one of the most passionate and provocative
visions of Christian faith today. His work on animals is surely among the
most creative theology being written."
~ Reviews in Religion and Theology
"Andrew Linzey, long recognized as the world's leading theologian of animal
rights, has written his best book yet. Indeed, this is his most personal
and
passionate work because it is his most theological.....He is guided here not
by the agenda of the animal rights movement but by an evangelical
proclamation of the good news for the whole world, including all of God's
creatures. This is pastoral theology at its best, an aid to all Christians
who seek a more spiritual understanding of animals. This book should win
him
many new readers, and it should awaken the church to an ethical issue that
cries out for Christian compassion."
~ Stephen H. Webb, author of On God and Dogs
