ABOUT THE BOOK:
Insightful and challenging, Is God a Vegetarian? poses provocative questions
for vegetarians, Christians, and anyone reflecting upon his personal choices
and ethical role in our world today.

The author examines key biblical texts pertaining to dietary customs,
vegetarianism, and animal rights, placing the passages in social context. He
then provides readers with an in-depth exploration of the ethical dilemmas
that Christians face when deciding whether they should be vegetarians. Young
also addresses animal testing and experimentation, the fur industry, animal
factories, and the effects of meat-eating on human health. Two vegetarian
recipes are included at the end of each chapter. An epilogue comprises
guidelines for becoming a vegetarian and a recommended reading list.

"An articulate case for vegetarianism that is neither simply a popular
treatise on health and diet nor a political treatise on animal rights,
Young's book offers a thoughtful reflection on a world of peace and justice
in which, though we may not be what we eat, what we eat, and why, is an
integral part of who we are."
