Kinship and Killing: The Animal in World Religions
Katherine Wills Perlo has turned the traditional discourse on animals and religion inside out. Instead of focusing on the impact of religion on our treatment of animals, she reveals the distortions that our prejudices toward our nonhuman neighbors have had on religious teachings. A remarkable marriage of insightful scholarship and deep compassion,Kinship and Killingis a seminal work that will influence the direction of the debate on religion and animals for decades to come.(Norm Phelps, author ofThe Dominion of Love: Animal Rights According to the Bible)
