“The biblical case for vegetarianism does not rest on the view that killing may never be allowable in the eyes of God, rather on the view that killing is always a grave matter. When we have to kill to live we may do so, but when we do not, we should live otherwise.” ShouldMayDoeMatterEyeViewsCasesKillingGravesBiblicalVegetarianism Author:Andrew Linzey
“I look forward to the time when the churches come to celebrate and honour the work of animal protection as an imperative arising from their belief in the Creator and in the gospel of the crucified. After all, similarly remarkable things have happened, for example, the growing consensus among churches that the environment should be cared for and protected as a Christian duty--an astonishing turnaround when one considers the prevailing dualism in previous centuries, which expressly discouraged concern for "earthly" matters as distinct from "spiritual" ones.” ShouldLooksMatterChristianSpiritualBeliefChurchAnimalEnvironmentGrowingHappenedCenturyExampleDutyConcernCreatorProtectionCelebrateRemarkableHonourProtectedConsensusDiscouragedImperativesAstonishingPrevailingDualismTurnaround Author:Andrew Linzey
“Christian theology provides some of the best arguments for respecting animal life and for taking seriously animals as partners with us within God's creation. It may be ironical that this tradition, once thought of as the bastion of human moral exclusivity, should now be seen as the seed-bed for a creative understanding of animal liberation.” ShouldHumansMayChristianUnderstandingAnimalMoralCreativeCreationBedArgumentTraditionSeedsPartnersTheologyLiberationAnimal RightsAnimal LiberationAnimal LifeGod's CreationChristian TheologyExclusivity Book:Christianity and the Rights of Animals Source: Christianity and the Rights of Animals
