The Church And Kindness To Animals (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781163577707)

The Church And Kindness To Animals is a book that explores the relationship between Christianity and the treatment of animals. Written by Burns and Oates, the book delves into the history of the church's teachings on animal welfare, as well as the current state of animal rights activism within Christian communities.The authors argue that kindness to animals is not only a moral imperative but also a spiritual one, as it reflects the values of compassion and stewardship that are central to Christian teachings. They examine the biblical foundations of animal welfare, drawing on passages from the Old and New Testaments to demonstrate the importance of caring for all living creatures.The book also explores the ways in which the church has historically failed to live up to its own teachings on animal welfare, including the use of animals in religious rituals and the endorsement of cruel practices such as hunting and bullfighting.However, the authors also highlight the growing movement of Christian animal rights activists who are working to bring about change within their communities. They showcase examples of churches that have adopted animal-friendly practices, such as vegetarianism and the use of cruelty-free products, and argue that these actions are not only beneficial for animals but also for the health and well-being of humans and the planet as a whole.Overall, The Church And Kindness To Animals is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the relationship between Christianity and animal welfare, offering a compelling argument for why kindness to animals should be a central concern for all Christians.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
