Did Jesus Die For Dogs?: What does the Bible say? - Paperback

by Steven J. Boint (Author)

Do animals go to heaven? Are humans the center of God's universe? Is polluting Earth a sin? Is fighting to sustain habitat a form of witness? Decide for yourself This theological discussion lays bare the major biblical themes that involve nature, allowing each reader to draw informed conclusions within his or her Christian tradition. Noteworthy not merely for what it includes, but also for what it leaves out, "Did Jesus Die For Dogs?" examines the relationship between nature and God's salvation as revealed in scripture. Limiting discussion to the main thread of salvation history, this discussion avoids favoring one Christian tradition over others while highlighting biblical themes that theologians from all traditions should include in their understanding of the work of Christ. And . . . YES
