“What are we to say of a theology which has so proceeded on the basis of a moral neglet of God’s creatures?” asks Andrew Linzey. In Animal Theology, he seeks ways in which doctrine can help morally motivated Christians to perceive meaning in animal suffering.In Linzey’s view, animal rights is synonymous with animal theology. Linzey argues that historical theology, creatively defined, must reject humanocentricity. Questioning the assumption that if theology is to speak on this issue, “it must only do so on the side of the oppressors,” Linzey investigates not only the abstractions of theory, but also the realities of hunting, animal experimentation, and genetic engineering. His is a pioneering, vital, and unequivocally Christian voice advocating on behalf of the countless creatures who share our world and our lives but cannot speak for themselves.

"Linzey is Britain's foremost animal rights theologian, and his carefully constructed argument is a striking challenge to the way we live and think."--Walter Schwarz, The Tablet "Combines a level of scholarship and thought with passion and imagination, sensitivity and humor that could well change the reader's way of looking at the world."--Bishop John Austin Baker, Church "An excellent book. Clearly written, logically organized, and exhibits sound scholarship. What Christianity can offer to the animal rights debate more than anything else is what Linzey calls the 'generosity paradigm.'"--Daniel A. Dombrowski, author of Hartshorne and the Metaphysics of Animal Rights
