The Redemption of the Animals by Douglas Sloan Pdf

As human beings, what is our true relationship to the animals on earth? What is our responsibility to our fellow creatures? Douglas Sloan explores these and other questions in this important book on the human-animal connection. His explorations are based on personal experience and wide-ranging research into the work of Rudolf Steiner and others, including scientist students of the inner life of animals and committed defenders of animal wellbeing. Rudolf Steiner describes how from the beginning of creation humans and animals have been united in deep kinship. A loss of the sense of this human–animal connection has resulted in an immense animal suffering the world over. Especially in their suffering, the animals now pose for the modern human being many pressing and perplexing questions. Are the animals conscious? Do they have feelings like ours? Do they experience pain? Do the animals have a spiritual reality and experience? Do the animals have souls and selves? Do the animals have capacities for cognitive intelligence, emotional empathy, language, and memory? Is there a crucial difference between the human and the animal, a basic difference in kind, or only a difference in degree? Do animals have rights? Are we justified in using the animals as we wish—eating them, hunting them, experimenting on them? Rudolf Steiner presents a vision of the ultimate redemption of the animals from their suffering. What is the nature of this redemption? What is our responsibility in making it happen? In exploring these and related questions with the help of Rudolf Steiner’s work and that of others on the issue, we can begin to see the importance in our time of our relating to the animals in a completely new way—a relationship that understands and respects the animals’ inner spiritual being, and one that requires a deep grasp of our own spiritual being in relation to theirs. In this book, Douglas Sloan seeks to help us toward this new relationship with the animals, both in concept and in everyday action.

All God's Animals by Christopher Steck, SJ Pdf

The book is the first of its kind to draw together in conversation the views of the early Church, contemporary biblical and theological scholarship, and post-conciliar teachings. Steck develops a comprehensive, Catholic theology of animals based on an in-depth exploration of Catholicism's fundamental doctrines—trinitarian theology, Christology, pneumatology, eschatology, and soteriology. All God's Animals makes two central claims. First, we can hope that God will include animals of the present age in the kingdom inaugurated by Christ. Second, because of this inclusion, our responses to animals should be guided by the values of the kingdom. As Christians await the final liberation of all creation, they are to be witnesses to God’s kingdom by embodying its ideals in their relations with animal life. Because the kingdom's fullness is yet to come and because our world remains marked by the wounds of sin, however, Christian treatment of animals will at times require acts that are at odds with the kingdom’s ideals (for example, those causing suffering and death). Steck examines each of these ideas and explores all of their complexities.

On Animals by David L. Clough Pdf

This volume is a project in systematic theology: a rigorous engagement with the Christian tradition in relation to animals under the doctrinal headings of creation, reconciliation and redemption and in dialogue with the Bible and theological voices central to the tradition. The book shows that such engagement with the tradition with the question of the animal in mind produces surprising answers that challenge modern anthropocentric assumptions. For the most part, therefore, the novelty of the project lies in the questions raised, rather than the proposal of innovative answers to it. The transformation in our thinking about animals for which the book argues results in the main from looking squarely for the first time at the sum of what we are already committed to believing about other animals and their place in God's creation.

A Christian Theology on the Redemption of Our Animal Friends by Harry E. Herman Pdf

The author, Mr. Herman says: "I have always been in love with my canine-friends. They taught me in their own unique ways to be more fully human by becoming more tender-loving and caring to both man/woman and animals. They always live for the moment; yet, never losing their gifts from God of non-judgmental, loyal friendship, and unconditional love for the human family." Mr. Herman continues: ]My research on animal-soul redemption started way back, prompted by my Catholic grade school experience in the 1950's, when the catechist informed the class that man/woman have a soul to go to heaven after death, while animals only have a body without hope of ever going to heaven. I was confused. I could not believe what I was hearing, that God was selfish and unkind. He gave us our animal-friends to love and be loved, only to destroy that love. I was twelve years old, but I decided, there and then, the catechist was dead-wrong, and I was going to prove it . . . even if it took me a lifetime!" Fifty years later: The impending death of my soul mate for almost eighteen years - my poodle-terrier friend, Tiger II, prompted me to study theology at the Jesuit School of Theology in Berkeley, California, graduating in 2007 with an MA degree in Theological Studies (MTS) at age sixty-seven. My graduate studies armed me with sophisticated tools to research and write a theological treatise that addresses the Roman Catholic Church's (and other Christian Churches) age-old confused thinking and ambivalent attitude on animal soul redemption, tracing the confusion to the Church's fixation on a one-dimensional (primary only) level of relationship with God when, in reality, God has ordained a duality of relationship i.e., a primary relationship with His angels and man/woman; and, a secondary relationship with animals. There is really nothing novel about animals having eternal life. They all enjoyed eternal life at creation together with man/woman and plants in the garden-paradise of Eden on earth before the Fall when death was unknown. The story of Adam and Eve in Eden (our first parents, as humanity had to start from somewhere) is not allegorical. It is the very foundation of our Christian Faith - the raison d'etre' for the Son of God, the Incarnate Jesus Christ, coming down to earth to redeem all of fallen creation i.e., not only man/woman who caused the fall, but also animals and plants since Jesus Christ is God and the Redeemer of all creation. This Divine reality is revealed in Holy Scripture. The late Pope John Paul II acknowledged this reality in 1990, when he affirmed "animals too have a soul just like men."115 Unfortunately, the Holy Father died in 2005, unable to complete the animal redemption theology after laying the the very foundation that "animals too have a soul just like men."

God, Evolution, and Animal Suffering by Bethany N. Sollereder Pdf

After the publication of On the Origin of Species in 1859, theologians were faced with the dilemma of God creating through evolution. Suddenly, pain, suffering, untimely death and extinction appeared to be the very tools of creation, and not a result of the sin of humanity. Despite this paradigm shift, the question of non-human suffering has been largely overlooked within theodicy debates, overwhelmed by the extreme human suffering of the twentieth century. This book redresses this imbalance by offering a rigorous academic treatment of the questions surrounding God and the suffering of non-human animals. Combining theological, philosophical, and biblical perspectives, this book explores the relationship between God and Creation within Christian theology. First it dismantles the popular theological view that roots violence and suffering in the animal kingdom in the fall of humanity. Then, through an exploration of the nature of love, it affirms that there are multiple reasons to suggest that God and creation can both be "good", even with the presence of violence and suffering. This is an innovative exploration of an under-examined subject that encompasses issues of theology, science, morality and human-animal interactions. As such, it will be of keen interest to scholars and academics of religion and science, the philosophy of religion, theodicy, and biblical studies.

Night of the Animals by Bill Broun Pdf

In this imaginative debut, the tale of Noah’s Ark is brilliantly recast as a story of fate and family, set in a near-future London. Over the course of a single night in 2052, a homeless man named Cuthbert Handley sets out on an astonishing quest: to release the animals of the London Zoo. When he was a young boy, Cuthbert’s grandmother had told him he inherited a magical ability to communicate with the animal world—a gift she called the Wonderments. Ever since his older brother’s death in childhood, Cuthbert has heard voices. These maddening whispers must be the Wonderments, he believes, and recently they have promised to reunite him with his lost brother and bring about the coming of a Lord of Animals . . . if he fulfills this curious request. Cuthbert flickers in and out of awareness throughout his desperate pursuit. But his grand plan is not the only thing that threatens to disturb the collective unease of the city. Around him is greater turmoil, as the rest of the world anxiously anticipates the rise of a suicide cult set on destroying the world’s animals along with themselves. Meanwhile, Cuthbert doggedly roams the zoo, cutting open the enclosures, while pressing the animals for information about his brother. Just as this unlikely yet loveable hero begins to release the animals, the cult’s members flood the city’s streets. Has Cuthbert succeeded in harnessing the power of the Wonderments, or has he only added to the chaos—and sealed these innocent animals’ fates? Night of the Animals is an enchanting and inventive tale that explores the boundaries of reality, the ghosts of love and trauma, and the power of redemption.

The Redemption of Black Elk by Linda L. Stampoulos Pdf

As a young child of the Oglala Lakota Sioux, Black Elk had been given a mighty vision which would lead him on a personal journey that lasted his entire life. Although Black Elk's vision was a prophetic message telling the terrible future of his tribe, it also held positive aspects that must be reclaimed. It is through this reclamation that the guiding beacons given to him reveal an ancient pathway woven into the images of the West. By exploring Black Elk's eyewitness account of the crucial events of that time, the author discovered a series of metaphorical footprints that show us the way toward inner strength and a balanced life...125 years later. To help with an interpretation of Black Elk's account, the author invoked the insight of Joseph Campbell, one of the world's foremost authorities on societal ideologies. Through his understanding of symbol and metaphor Campbell was able to examine the metaphorical footprints and provide us with a twenty-first century "spin" that a simple man generations before could only imagine. This book offers a new look at Black Elk's footprints and together with the insight of Joseph Campbell, presents an inward path to the positive forces within each of us, waiting for discovery.

Tractates Gittin and Nazir by Heinrich W. Guggenheimer Pdf

The ninth volume of this edition, translation, and commentary of the Jerusalem Talmud contains two Tractates. The first Tractate, “Documents”, treats divorce law and principles of agency when written documents are required. Collateral topics are the rules for documents of manumission, those for sealed documents whose contents may be hidden from witnesses, the rules by which the divorced wife can collect the moneys due her, the requirement that both divorcer and divorcee be of sound mind, and the rules of conditional divorce. The second Tractate, “Nazirites”, describes the Nasirean vow and is the main rabbinic source about the impurity of the dead. As in all volumes of this edition, a (Sephardic rabbinic) vocalized text is presented, with parallel texts used as source of variant readings. A new translation is accompanied by an extensive commentary explaining the rabbinic background of all statements and noting Talmudic and related parallels. Attention is drawn to the extensive Babylonization of the Giṭṭin text compared to genizah texts.

A Snarl Theology by John Francis Pearring,John Sorensen Pdf

A Snarl Theology calls God a merciful creator, a big-picture divinity, bigger than anything imaginable. Scripture confirms that in the restoration of the world and all its environs, there will be a settlement between God and his creatures. A covenant to set animals and us back as we were meant to be. “I will make a covenant for them on that day, with the beasts of the field, with the birds of the air, and with the things that crawl on the ground.” (Hosea 2:20) Redemption is the divine act of follow-through regarding covenant—washing away our faults, defects, and foibles and taking us into the arms of the divine. Are animals rewarded with redemption, like us—with a full restoration? To imagine that God will not reward these martyred creatures, who play a significant role in human redemption, weakens the concept and promise of paradise. Animals are sentient beyond our understanding, residents in a universe where God communicates with everyone. This animal kingdom theology implies that animals, too, hear God’s voice. A Snarl Theology’s hope for animals to be our redemptive allies shouldn’t cancel doctrine, upset dogma, or countermand Christianity. It should increase our love of God.
