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.
