Among the many pressing social concerns that have galvanized evangelical Christians’ response-abortion, human trafficking, environmental degradation, and many others-the care of animals has received relatively little attention.Yet as author Sarah Withrow King deftly uncovers in Vegangelical, animal stewardship is a necessary aspect of a holistic ethic of Christian peace and justice. Indeed, care for animal welfare correspondingly strengthens our care for environmental and human flourishing.Practical, restrained in its conclusions, and grounded on a broader theology of Christian compassion, Vegangelical calls readers to a greater attentiveness to one of the primary relationships in God’s created order, that between humans and animals.ReviewAn articulate, sincere introduction to Bible-based social and environmental justice, opening the conversation to how God forms us through our interactions with the created world. A must-read for protectors of all creatures, great and small. -- Nancy Sleeth, co-founder of Blessed Earth -- Nancy SleethAbout the AuthorSarah Withrow King is the interim director of the Sider Center of Eastern University and the co-director of CreatureKind, which helps the church engage churches in new ways of thinking about animals and Christian faith, with a special focus on farmed animal welfare.
