“We share this planet with thousands of species of animals. Yet, Christians have been all too deaf to the cries of our suffering fellow creatures, and blind to the complexity of animal cognition and feeling. Good News for Animals? alerts us to the compelling scriptural and ethical grounds for caring for animals and the earth. For those of us who have embraced animal protection as a necessary expression of Christian compassion, this is indeed good news.”
“Good News for Animals? moves what has been a marginal concern for the Christian community to center stage. In its fine essays by outstanding authors, this book lays out the connections between our treatment of other animals and such critical issues as human overpopulation, First World energy consumption, and feminism, with vegetarianism as a symbol of these connections as well as an immediate lifestyle change open to everyone.”
