This is an excellent series of theological reflections on animals in Christian understanding, ranging far and wide across Scriptural and patristic tradition, via questions of animal suffering and ensoulment, to reflections on our moral duties towards them. What emerges is a rich resource, with a pleasing range of perspectives from evangelical to Catholic, from process theology to a New Testament theology of creation. Encouragingly, none of these perspectives dismisses animals as unworthy of theological consideration. Some writers - notably Huw Spanner (on our moral stance towards animals) and John Muddiman (on the New Testament's vision of creation) - are visionary and inspiring. Strongly recommended.

I bought this book after a recommendation on an internet cat mailing list, and wasn't sure what I was going to get! Most people who are interested in animal welfare have a faith of some sort, and this little book is there with the appropriate words when an animal is hurt, in trouble or dies - to put a deceased animal into a hole in the ground and walk away without a prayer to help it on its final journey just isn't on! I'm sure that there are some who'll say that animals don't have souls and will hold up their hands in horror at the contents of Animal Rites, but I for one think that animals *do* go to Heaven. If they don't, I don't want to go either. Andrew Linzey, your book's a gem!
