This is a book about animals and the moral life. The kinds of
questions it raises are profound and consequential: Do animals have
moral standing? Do human beings have moral obligations to animals?
If so, how extensive and weighty are those obligations? Robert
Wennberg finds it troubling that society at large seems to care
more about such concerns than the Christian community does, and he
invites people of faith not only to think more deeply about ethical
concerns for animals but also to enter into a richer, more
sensitive moral life in general.
Over the course of his thought-provoking discussion, Wennberg
educates readers about some of the history of ethical concern for
animals and the nature of that concern. He also invites serious
reflection on the moral issues raised by the existence of animals
in our world, while granting readers considerable latitude in
reaching their own conclusions. Wennberg arrives at his own
conclusions through careful interaction with church history,
Christian theology, the Jewish and Christian Scriptures, and the
best philosophical thought on the moral status of animals. Two
compelling case studies -- of factory farming and painful animal
research are also included.
All in all, "God, Humans, and Animals" offers a complete,
balanced, and convincing argument for the moral recognition of
animals. Most readers will be challenged -- and some may be changed
-- by this provocative study.
