Description:Why should Christians care about animals? Is there a biblical basis for abstaining from eating animals? Is avoiding companies that use (and misuse) animals a viable way for Christians to live out the message of God? Sarah Withrow King makes the argument that care for all of creation is no “far-fetched” idea that only radical people would consider, but rather a faithful witness of the peaceful kingdom God desires and Jesus modelled. This includes all living and breathing creatures that share this earth with us. King uses her decade-plus of experience as a vegan, her seminary education, her evangelical Christian faith, and her years working with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals to call Christians to examine how we treat and view the nonhuman animals with whom we share a finite planet.Table of ContentsAcknowledgmentsIntroduction1 Stealing Chickens in Austria (It Was an Accident, I Swear)part one Looking at the Word through an Animal LensIntroduction to Part One2 Creation (or, Using Animals Says to God, “I Don’t Think You Got It Quite Right in Genesis”)3 What It Means to “Have Dominion”4 The Prophets5 Jesus, the Prince of Peace6 I Think Jesus Dug Birds, Too7 The Good Animals as Neighbors8 The End and the Now9 The Bible Tells Me So . . .part two Intersections and Bridges (The Oppression Connection)Introduction to Part Two10 Do Animals Suffer?
