The book is the first of its kind to draw together in conversation
the views of the early Church, contemporary biblical and
theological scholarship, and post-conciliar teachings. Steck
develops a comprehensive, Catholic theology of animals based on an
in-depth exploration of Catholicism's fundamental
doctrines—trinitarian theology, Christology, pneumatology,
eschatology, and soteriology. All God's Animals makes two
central claims. First, we can hope that God will include animals of
the present age in the kingdom inaugurated by Christ. Second,
because of this inclusion, our responses to animals should be
guided by the values of the kingdom.  As Christians
await the final liberation of all creation, they are to be
witnesses to God’s kingdom by embodying its ideals in their
relations with animal life.  Because the kingdom's
fullness is yet to come and because our world remains marked by the
wounds of sin, however, Christian treatment of animals will
at times require acts that are at odds with the kingdom’s ideals
(for example, those causing suffering and death). Steck examines
each of these ideas and explores all of their complexities.
