A thoughtful, biblically grounded look at how humans should treat animals and why they may share a hopeful future. This edition argues for compassion, respect, and a broader view of life that extends beyond humanity. This book presents a Biblical and philosophical case for the immortality of animals and for extending humane treatment to all living creatures. It challenges harsh practices, critiques vivisection, and links ethics to a vision of Providence, justice, and the common good. Reasons why animals deserve moral consideration, not just utility or sentiment. Arguments that an infinite or enduring life may extend beyond humans to other creatures. Connections between theology, science, and humane laws that shape how we relate to animals. Practical discussion of education, reform, and compassionate action in daily life. Ideal for readers interested in ethics, theology, animal welfare, and the history of humane philosophy.
