ANIMAL THEOLOGY (Paperback 214 pages)
By Andrew Linzey
Animal rights is animal theology, in Andrew Linzey's view. He argues that historical theology, creatively defined, must reject humanocentricity. He questions the assumption that if theology is to speak on this issue, "it must only do so on the side of the oppressors." Linzey's theological query investigates not only the abstractions of theory, but also the realities of hunting, animal experimentation, and genetic engineering. He is an important, pioneering, Christian voice speaking for those who cannot speak for themselves.
Andrew Linzey holds the world's first fellowship in theology and animal welfare - the International Fund for Animal Welfare Senior Research Fellowship at Mansfield College, Oxford University - and is a Special Professor of Theology at the University of Nottingham. He has written fourteen books on theology and ethics, including Animal Rights, Christianity and the Rights of Animals, and Political Theory and Animal Rights. At the 1989 Annual Conference of the Humane Society of the United States he was named official chaplain to the animal welfare movement in recognition of his outstanding work in the field of theology and animals. In 1990 he was awarded the Peaceable Kingdom Medal for outstanding work in the same field.

'Linzey . . . is Britain's foremost animal rights theologian, and his carefully constructed argument is a striking challenge to the way we live and think.'
Walter Schwarz, The Tablet
'Combines a level of scholarship and thought with passion and imagination, sensitivity and humor that could well change the reader's way of looking at the world.'
Bishop John Austin Baker, Church Times
'An excellent book . . . Clearly written, logically organized, and exhibits sound scholarship. What Christianity can offer to the animal rights debate more than anything else is what Linzey calls the 'generosity paradigm'.'
Dombrowshi, author of Hartshorne and the Metaphysics of Animal Rights
'An outstandingly important contribution to an ever more demanding moral issue. I commend it enthusiastically.'
Donald (Lord) Soper, Methodist Recorder
'Argued with beautiful clarity and order . . . Deserves to be widely read and its arguments weighted carefully, for they are persuasive.'
Dr. C. S. Rodd, The Expository Times
