This encyclopedic volume is the most comprehensive collection of original studies on animals and theology ever published. Contributors from both sides of the Atlantic tackle fundamental questions about theology and how it is put into practice.Do animals have immortal souls? Does Christ's reconciling work include animals? Contributors address these issues and more in the context of scriptural perspectives, the Christian tradition, historical disputes, and obligations to animals.As Andrew Linzey points out in his introduction, it cannot be right for theological practitioners to carry on their business as though the world of animals were invisible.

De Waal's political philosophy, at its core, suggests that the twin models of man as acquisitive dominator and empathetic cooperator are both quite accurate, but they must be merged to forge a healthy society. As for Miles, he of course still plunges ahead with his customary elan, but with more maturity, and with a shock of recognition or two along the way.
As always readers need not have read previous books in the series to enjoy this one although (especially considering the time line the author helpfully provides in the appendix) it's hard to imagine many new readers would choose this volume as their poin
