Description
Animal Theologians brings together 24 scholarly studies that challenge the dominant anthropocentrism of most religious traditions. This volume features diverse voices from Jewish, Unitarian, Christian, transcendentalist, Muslim, Hindu, Dissenting, deist, and Quaker perspectives, each offering a unique theological perspective on the relationship between animals and divinity.
The essays in this collection explore the historical background that led animal theologians to their beliefs, as well as paving the way for further developments in this expanding field. The book is divided into three parts, tracing the evolution of thought from pioneers who first saw a connection between animals and divinity, to contemporary theologians.
By recovering lost voices from different religious traditions, Animal Theologians offers a fresh perspective on the role of animals in human spirituality. This volume provides valuable insights for anyone interested in exploring the intersection of faith and animal welfare.
