Developing Animal Theology

Clair Linzey is Deputy Director of the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics, and Professor of Animal Theology at the Graduate Theological Foundation.

"With the stellar quality of this book, Clair Linzey further establishes herself as an exceptional scholar in the field of animal theology. She is not simply following in her father’s prestigious footsteps. She is blazing new trails." Ryan Patrick McLaughlin, Assistant Professor of Religious Studies and Theology, College of Saint Elizabeth, and Assistant Editor, Biblical Theology Bulletin"This book is a long overdue, detailed and sophisticated criticism of liberation theology’s partly anthropocentric, partly biocentric disregard for sentient animals, their sufferings and their lives. An impressive addition to the growing field of animal theology." Kurt Remele, Director of the Institute for Ethics and Catholic Social Thought, Graz University, Austria
