Description

An exploration of vegetarianism in the Judeo-Christian tradition. The author attempts to answer the question: "are Christians morally obligated to be vegetarians" Close readings of key biblical texts pertaining to dietary customs, vegetarianism and animal rights make up the substance of the book. Interwoven throughout are discussions of contemporary issues, such as animal testing and experimentation, the fur industry, and the effects of meat-eating on human health. At the end of each chapter are two vegetarian recipes and an epilogue offers guidelines for becoming a vegetarian.
