Bible Animals

All of the Animals in the Bible is the complete scholar's handbook for Biblical research and study of animals found in Scripture.

"The Animals' Bible" by Ian A. Stuart with a Foreword by the Rev. Professor Andrew Linzey of Oxford University analyzes the Bible, the Apocrypha, the Jewish Mishnah and relevant extra-Biblical books from the animals' point of view. With hundreds of chapter and verse quotations, it answers questions such as: Do animals have souls? Does God communicate with other species? Do we have ethical obligations to animals? Is the divine Spirit present in other living being? How was Jesus the Lamb of God? and Did he die for them as he did for us? It concludes with an actual "Animals' Bible."

A book proving through Bible scriptures that God is providing eternal life for animals.I have just finished reading the book and feel that it was well done. May the Lord bless you."Rev. Dr. Jack Van Impe, World-Renowned TheologianJack Van Impe Ministries International, Troy, Michigan"There Is Eternal Life for Animals" focuses on so many Scriptures which plainly deal with and include animals, showing that God does have a plan for animals, and just as Noah was commanded by God to provide for the saving of the animals from the flood, so Christians can expect Christ's much greater redemption to include all the incredibly diverse animals which the Lord has created.Rev. Dr. Peter Hammond, Founder & Director of Frontline Fellowship, Cape Town, South Africa.Table of ContentsChapter 1IntroductionChapter 2God's Relationship With The AnimalsChapter 3How Much Do The Animals Know?Chapter 4Animals In HeavenChapter 5Animals Have Souls And SpiritsChapter 6Restoration, Restitution, And Eternal LifeChapter 7Eye Witnesses Of Animals And Pets In HeavenChapter 8Noah, A Foreshadowing Of JesusChapter 9MisinterpretationsChapter 10Praying For AnimalsChapter 11Personal ExperienceChapter 12Eternal Life For People

“An excellent introduction to the field of animal studies . . . [the] applications of these ideas to biblical passages . . . illuminate the text in new ways." -- Brandon R. Grafius, Horizons in Biblical Theology Animal studies may be a recent academic development, but our fascination with animals is nothing new. Surviving cave paintings are of animal forms, and closer to us, as Ken Stone points out, animals populate biblical literature from beginning to end. This book explores the significance of animal studies for the interpretation of the Hebrew Bible. Combined with biblical scholarship, animal studies sheds useful light on animals, animal symbolism, and the relations among animals, humans, and God—not only for those who study biblical literature and its ancient context, but for contemporary readers concerned with environmental, social, and animal ethics. Without the presence of domesticated and wild animals, neither biblical traditions nor the religions that make use of the Bible would exist in their current forms. Although parts of the Bible draw a clear line between humans and animals, other passages complicate that line in multiple ways and challenge our assumptions about the roles animals play therein. Engaging influential thinkers, including Jacques Derrida, Donna Haraway, and other experts in animal and ecological studies, Reading the Hebrew Bible with Animal Studies shows how prehumanist texts reveal unexpectedly relevant dynamics and themes for our posthumanist age. “[Stone’s] ecological sensibilities, theoretical acumen, and incisive exegetical arguments open up fresh perspectives.” —Stephen D. Moore, The Theological School, Drew University “This monograph is poised to become a key work in the field.” —Anne Létourneau, Reading Religion “Groundbreaking.” —Carol J. Dempsey, OP, Horizons
