ABOUT THE BOOK:
From Genesis to Christ, the Bible testifies to God's love and concern for
animals. The same self-centeredness that led to the violence and abuse
that
has marked human relations also caused the abuse and exploitation of animals.
The Bible, argues the author, calls upon human beings to stop their
violence
and abuse of each other and all other creatures. It promises that when they
do, the suffering that marks life on Earth will give way to the joy and peace
that God ordained at the Creation of the world.
“A daring and profoundly original work... J. R. Hyland speaks with great
authority, combining scholarship and passion with a prophetic voice.”
~Stephen H. Webb, author, Of God and Dogs. A Christian Theology of
Compassion for Animals.
"With cogent exegesis, J.R. Hyland exposes the false theology of slaughter
and sacrifice, which has for too long obscured the Bible's genuine message of
care and compassion for all living creatures. Books like God's Covenant
with
Animals brings the peaceable kingdom one step closer to earth."
~Rev. Gary Kowalski, author, The Souls of Animals
In clear and simple prose, J. R. Hyland tells the intriguing story of the
progressive unfolding and understanding of God's revelation about animals.
There are many interesting and provocative gems tucked away in this small
volume."
~Richard Alan Young, author, Is God a Vegetarian?: Christianity,
Vegetarianism, and Animal Rights
