Annotation: In this book Andrew Linzey provides a new Christian credo for animals. Our treatment of animals is a gospel issue, he contends, because those individuals and institutions that could have become the voice of God's most vulnerable creatures have instead justified cruelty and oppression.

Linzey offers an inspiring personal account of the gospel truths that have sustained his commitment to the cause of animals for more than twenty-five years. In doing so he makes a strong and moving case for a radically reformed faith, one that allows the gospel of the crucified Christ to interpret the world of innocent suffering.
