"This book is a major contribution toward healing our relationship with animals and the rest of Earth's creation."-Michael W. Fox, Vice- President, The Humane Society of the United States, Washington, D.C. "Jay McDaniel's book is both timely and important: timely because the general issue of 'animal rights' is gaining a secure place on the moral agenda, and important because the book demonstrates the powerful contributions theology can make to the informed debate of this issue."-Tom Regan, Professor of Philosophy, North Carolina State University "Of God and Pelicans is a fine contribution to postmodern theology combines issues of theodicy and animal rights in a life-centered Christianity, using insights from feminism, process thought, and Buddhism."-Sallie McFague, Professor of Theology, The Divinity School, Vanderbilt University It Jay B. McDaniel claims the world desperately needs people who are "life-centered"-sensitive to the sufferings of all living beings, and to the abuse of the earth. These people have a sense of kinship with all life, not human life alone. Written in four thought-provoking chapters, McDaniel's book discusses the understanding of God's relationship to all living things, the foundations and guidelines for an environmental ethic, the understanding of Christian spirituality, and feminism (in a nonhierarchical world). Both theologians and people interested in feminist theology, the environment, animal rights, and philosophy will find this to be a valuable, insightful resource. JAY B. MCDANIEL is Director, Steel Center for the Study of Religion and Philosophy, and Associate Professor of Religion, Hendrix College, Conway, Arkansas. 231.70664250769 Transformatio Library Bandung Theological Seminary 231.7 McD o E93015192 Non Fiction 231.7 McD o 1.jpg 37638 2014-11-27 11:54:25 2024-09-09 09:21:44 machine generated
