Many people who have thought about God have not thought about
animals, or about the relationship between the two. But among those
who have are some of the most celebrated religious thinkers,
including Michel de Montaigne, Thomas Tryon, John Wesley, John
Ruskin, Leo Tolstoy, Mohandas K. Gandhi, Albert Schweitzer, and
Paul Tillich. This volume comprises 24 scholarly studies that
detail challenges to the dominant anthropocentrism of most
religious traditions. The editors have brought together Jewish,
Unitarian, Christian, transcendentalist, Muslim, Hindu, Dissenting,
deist, and Quaker voices, each offering a unique theological
perspective that counters the neglect of the nonhuman. Animal
Theologians is divided into three parts starting with the pioneers
who first saw a relationship between animals and divinity, those
who contributed to the expansion of social sensibility to animals,
and ending with the work of contemporary theologians. The essays in
this volume use contextual and historical background to describe
what led animal theologians to their beliefs, and then pave way for
further developments in this expanding field. This volume is an act
of reclaiming different religious traditions for animals by
recovering lost voices.
