This book examines C. S. Lewis's writings about animals, and the
theological bases of his opposition to vivisection and other
cruelties. It argues Genesis is central to many of these ethical
musings and the book's organization reflects this. It treats in
turn Lewis's creative approaches to the Garden of Eden, humanity's
"dominion" over the earth, and the loss of paradise with all the
catastrophic consequences for animals it presaged. The book closes
looking at Lewis's vision of a more inclusive community. Though he
left no comprehensive summary of his ideas, the Narnia adventures
and science fiction trilogy, scattered poems and his popular
theology inspire affection and sympathy for the nonhuman. This
study challenges scholars to reassess Lewis as not only a literary
critic and children's author but also an animal theologian of
consequence, though there is much here for all fans of Mr.
Bultitude and Reepicheep to explore.
