FOR BIG THINKERS / ANIMAL LOVERS
Andrew Linzey and Clair Linzey
Animal Theologians has been written based on the premise that many people who have thought about God have not thought about animals, or about the relationship between the two. But some have, including some exceptionally famous figures, such as John Wesley, Leo Tolstoy, Mohandas K. Gandhi, and Albert Schweitzer.
The editors have brought together Jewish, Unitarian, Christian, transcendentalist, Muslim, Hindu, Dissenting, deist and Quaker voices, all offering unique theological perspectives that reverse the neglect of non-human animals. This work is an act of reclaiming different traditions for animals by recovering lost voices.

The book contains fourteen essays from the Journal of Animal Ethics, each written by an accomplished academic, and offers pioneering insights into what animal history is and how it should be done.
