Vegangelical: How Caring for Animals Can Shape Your Faith (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780310522379)

Among the many pressing social concerns that have galvanized evangelical Christians' response--abortion, human trafficking, environmental degradation, and many others--the care of animals has received relatively little attention.

Yet as author Sarah Withrow King deftly uncovers in Vegangelical, animal stewardship is a necessary aspect of a holistic ethic of Christian peace and justice. Indeed, care for animal welfare correspondingly strengthens our care for environmental and human flourishing.

Practical, restrained in its conclusions, and grounded on a broader theology of Christian compassion, Vegangelical calls readers to a greater attentiveness to one of the primary relationships in God's created order, that between humans and animals.
