| can a christian be vegan: Why Every Christian Should Be A Vegan Ryan Hicks, 2018-03-07 Today much of Christendom is closely associated with the eating of animals. Some churches even have hunting and fishing trips. Meat, eggs and dairy are a staple in most professing Christian’s diets. Is any of this in line with God’s will or pleasing to Him? Could it be that so many passages of Scripture that traditions have told us are teaching the ethics of killing animals are actually stating something completely different?

If you have been raised thinking that animals are here to be food for humans or for our entertainment, then by reading this book you will discover many edifying truths.

| can a christian be vegan: Animal Gospel Andrew Linzey, 2000-01-01 Our treatment of animals is a gospel issue, Andrew Linzey contends, because those individuals and institutions that could have become the voice of God's most vulnerable creatures have instead justified cruelty and oppression.

| can a christian be vegan: The Lord Christ Jesus Was a Vegan Saba, 2005-12-16 This book raises many interrelated important issues in life and tries to clarify the spiritual facts and to tie the loose ends, according to the wisdom of Divine Love. The good news about Lord Christ Jesus being a vegan (a strict vegetarian), for Biblical reasons is expounded in this book so all nations can immediately convert to the Christian vegan religion of heaven; for the sake of God's Justice that must be served on earth. The book indeed is a must read for all people because the entire creation including mankind has only one Savior to understand, obey, learn from and follow in order to do God's will, to be justified of sins and to see the Kingdom of God in righteousness. Since science also belongs to Christianity and this true faith is about universal redemption, the pages of this book discuss in detail the interests, the well-beings and the freedom of all creatures. The main points discussed in here, from the Christian vegan perspectives are: why mankind should live to honor God, about the universally abiding laws given us by the supreme Creator, the Christian justice, the importance of Church unity, nutrition, balanced diet and related issues. The pages loudly echo the spirituality of animals and the normal feelings of all that live; encouraging mankind to choose environmentally friendly products and services instead of animal products or animal services. Every violent sport and entertainment that involves animals is denounced together with the modern day idolatry and animal slavery; urging God fearing people to actively love and defend all animals and the universe in the Holy Name of Christ Jesus now and always. The goal of the book is to help the entire human race grasp the urgency of the animal right issue so all can repent together, start to pray unceasingly, watch and work in order to heal the damaged environments spiritually also work to restore world peace, order, equality among the earthly dwellers and lasting harmony. This book is indispensable for Bible scholars also for all God fearing people; it is animal friendly and can easily be used as a reference book or to instruct kids and adults in the non-violence principles of Christianity. |

| can a christian be vegan: Dominion Matthew Scully, 2003-10-08 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. --Genesis 1:24-26 In this crucial passage from the Old Testament, God grants mankind power over animals. But with this privilege comes the grave responsibility to respect life, to treat animals with simple dignity and compassion. Somewhere along the way, something has gone wrong. In Dominion, we witness the annual convention of Safari Club International, an organization whose wealthier members will pay up to $20,000 to hunt an elephant, a lion or another animal, either abroad or in American safari ranches, where the animals are fenced in pens. We attend the annual International Whaling Commission conference, where the skewed politics of the whaling industry come to light, and the focus is on developing more lethal, but not more merciful, methods of harvesting living marine resources. And we visit a gargantuan American factory farm, where animals are treated as mere product and raised in conditions of mass confinement, bred for passivity and bulk, inseminated and fed with machines, kept in tightly confined stalls for the entirety of their lives, and slaughtered in a way that maximizes profits and minimizes decency. Throughout Dominion, Scully counters the hypocritical arguments that attempt to excuse animal abuse: from those who argue that the Bible's message permits mankind to use animals as it pleases, to the hunter's argument that through hunting animal populations are controlled, to the popular and scientifically proven notions that animals cannot feel pain, experience no emotions, and are not conscious of their own lives. The result is eye opening, painful and infuriating, insightful and rewarding. Dominion is a plea for human benevolence and mercy, a scathing attack on those who would dismiss animal activists as mere sentimentalists, and a demand for reform from the government down to the individual. Matthew Scully has created a groundbreaking work, a book of lasting power and importance for all of us. |
| can a christian be vegan: The Vegan Christian Edwin Page, 2020-10-19 The Vegan Christian is an earnest and heartfelt plea for Christians everywhere to become vegan. Motivated by compassion, Edwin Page presents a well considered case for this change whilst also presenting some engaging and surprising points. He also makes it clear that veganism is more than just a diet, it's a way of life.Raised on a small farm near Cambridge and brought up in the Christian faith, the author is ideally positioned to create such a book. This background allows him to write from a position of experience and knowledge, and has provided him with interesting insights into the subject.A short but persuasive book, The Vegan Christian is a timely volume that invites us all to reassess the way we treat ourselves, other life and the planet as a whole.Edwin Page is the author of numerous other books and is best known for his historical fiction relating to slavery. |
| can a christian be vegan: Good News for All Creation Stephen R. Kaufman, Nathan Braun, 2004 Good News for All Creation notes that plant-based diets reflect the love, compassion, and peace of Christ, and they constitute good, responsible stewardship of God's Creation. Using traditional Christian teachings, the authors make a compelling case that, if Jesus were among us today, he would choose to be vegetarian. |
| can a christian be vegan: For Love of Animals Charles Camosy, 2013-10-25 For Love of Animals is an honest and thoughtful look at our responsibility as Christians with respect to animals. Many Christians misunderstand both history and their own tradition in thinking about animals. They are joined by prominent secular thinkers who blame Christianity for the Western world's failure to seriously consider the moral status of nonhuman animals. This book explains how traditional Christian ideas and principles—like nonviolence, concern for the vulnerable, respect for life, stewardship of God's creation, and rejection of consumerism—require us to treat animals morally. Though this point of view is often thought of as liberal, the book cites several conservatives who are also concerned about animals. Camosy's Christian argument transcends secular politics. The book's starting point for a Christian position on animals—from the creation story in Genesis to Jesus's eating habits in the Gospels—rests in Scripture. It then moves to explore the views of the Church Fathers, the teachings of the Catholic Church, and current discussions in both Catholic and Protestant theology. Ultimately, however, the book is concerned not with abstract ideas, but with how we should live our everyday lives. Should Christians eat meat? Is cooperation with factory farming evil? What sort of medical research on animals is justified? Camosy also asks difficult questions about hunting and pet ownership. This is an ideal resource for those who are interested in thinking about animals from the perspective of Christian ethics and the consistent ethic of life. Discussion questions at the end of each chapter and suggestions for further reading round out the usefulness of this important work. |
| can a christian be vegan: Mind If I Order the Cheeseburger Sherry F. Colb, 2013-06-18 What about plants? Don't animals eat other animals? There are no perfect vegans, so why bother? If you're vegan, how many times have you been asked these, and other similarly challenging, questions from non-vegans? Using humor and reason, Sherry F. Colb takes these questions at face value and also delves deeply into the motivations behind them, coming up with answers that are not only intelligent but insightful about human nature. Through examples, case studies, and clear-eyed logic, she provides arguments for everything from why veganism is compatible with the world's major religions to why vegetarianism is not enough. In the end, she shows how it is possible for vegans and non-vegans to engage in a mutually beneficial conversation without descending into counterproductive name-calling, and to work together to create a more hospitable world for human animals and non-human animals alike. A rare fusion of passion and logic, idealism and pragmatism, style and substance, and--in its measured confrontation of the most challenging questions vegans face--a revolutionary guide for advocates seeking to engage the ethics of eating animals through authentic dialogue rather than bombastic rhetoric. Colb's literary touch is something to behold. She writes in a way that will appeal to non-vegans and vegans alike, building bridges across an all too turbulent divide. This is food writing at its best and food writing as it should be: honest, inclusive, inspirational, and, more than you might imagine, timely.--James McWilliams, Professor of History, Texas State University, San Marcos, and author of Just Food and The Politics of the Pasture With compassion, humor, and eloquence, Sherry Colb provides a clear and engaging account of what motivates vegans to eat and live the way we do. A must-read for anyone who has ever wondered (or been asked) 'Why do vegans think it is okay to kill plants but not animals?' or 'Why avoid dairy and eggs?'--Rory Freedman, New York Times bestselling co-author of Skinny Bitch and author of Beg Sherry Colb provides thoughtful, articulate, intelligent answers to the commonly asked questions faced by every vegan. Intertwining information, reason, and her own personal experience, Colb offers an invaluable aid both for those answering the questions and for those posing them. The perfect companion --Colleen Patrick-Goudreau, bestselling author and creator of The 30-Day Vegan Challenge A powerful, compelling, and thoroughly engaging defense of veganism from an absolutely terrific legal scholar.--Gary L. Francione, Board of Governors Professor of Law and Katzenbach Distinguished Scholar of Law and Philosophy, Rutgers University, author of Introduction to Animal Rights: Your Child or the Dog? With crystal clear logic and an empathic voice, Sherry Colb has written a must-read source for anyone curious, skeptical, or downright antagonistic towards vegan living. This book is destined to be a classic of the emerging vegan oevre.--Jonathan Balcombe, Ph.D., author of The Exultant Ark Full of thoughtful analyses of some of the most common, perplexing, and often challenging reactions to vegans and veganism. Any vegan or vegetarian who has wished they'd had a more informed response to a question or challenge about their ideology--and anyone who wants to better understand some of the fundamental concepts of veganism--will benefit from reading Sherry Colb's in-depth exploration of the issues.--Melanie Joy, Ph.D., author of Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows |
| can a christian be vegan: The Lost Religion of Jesus Keith Akers, 2000 Jesus' preaching was first and foremost about simple living, pacifism, and vegetarianism; he never intended to create a new religion separate from Judaism. Moreover, Jesus' radical Jewish ethics, rather than a new theology, distinguished him and his followers from other Jews. It was the earliest followers of Jesus, the Jewish Christians, who understood Jesus better than any of the gentile Christian groups, which are the spiritual ancestors of modern Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox churches. In this detailed and accessible study, Keith Akers uncovers the history of Jewish Christianity from its origins in the Essenes and John the Baptist, through Jesus, until its disappearance into Islamic mysticism sometime in the seventh or eighth century. Akers argues that only by really understanding this mysterious and much misunderstood strand of early Christianity can we get to the heart of the radical message of Jesus of Nazareth. |

| can a christian be vegan: The Vegan Bible Norval Huskey, 2016-08-23 The Vegan Guide to the Holy Scriptures leads you down a path towards The Garden of Eden. That fantasy land of Peace and Loving-kindness may be our next evolutionary step. Most people realize that the way the world of Death and Disease has taken over is not right or healthy in any way. The Veganism Movement will heal mankind thus healing the world as well. The modern thinking Vegan is ready to meet and overcome any non-Vegan resistance by learning every thing connected to the purpose of Veganism. There is a spiritual side of Veganism to consider and The Vegan Bible is a great place to begin researching the real history of our Mother earth and Father God. Most people never knew that the God of The Holy Bible is Vegan. This one little fact changes the face of society from innocent meat eaters to a mob of evil dead-flesh worshipers, especially the ones that refuse to accept the truth of our Vegan world. Don't be one of them. The right way is always the best way to live and enjoy the good health and clean conscious that the Vegan way of life represents. Now you will have all of the Vegan Holy Scriptures at your fingertips to rise over anyone whom decides to support their meat eating habits by miss-quoting The Holy Scriptures. The Vegan Bible proves that God and Jesus Christ are Vegans as well as some of the Holiest Prophets. Was Cain really the cold hearted monster we were taught he was or was he just an angry Vegan unwilling to control his temper? And who is this Lord God character that keeps on trying to ruin everyone's lives? Was Jesus Christ targeted by the religious leaders of His time for taking a firm stand against animal sacrifices? Did He offer his life as a one time human sacrifice to try and save them. By threatening the financial security of those selling the sacrificial animals this put a price on his head. His teachings of Love were not only aimed at people but they were for all living creatures. His personal sacrifice did put an end to most religiously motivated animal sacrifice in the world. Before Jesus Christ there was only a blood thirsty Lord God to pay off with daily sacrifices which was for sale at the Holy Temples. Now we face a world lost in a cloud of ignorance teaching our children it is normal and right to consume dead animal flesh and this has got to stop. We must learn everything there is to know about Veganism so we can begin to heal our world and save our souls. I have dedicated the rest of my life to the study and research of the Ancient Vegan Creation Story as it is found in every copy of the Bible that exist. Proving that we have an all-loving Father God that is Vegan was only the beginning of what I have discovered. The magnitude of this one important fact has yet to reach the ears of the normal every day church goer. The implications of the facts presented in the pages of The Vegan Bible is destined to cause some uproar with the religious institutions and their religious dogma. Why was it such a crime in the dark ages to be a Christian? Did the term Christian mean Vegan and were they hunted, tortured, burned and killed for the same reason that Jesus Christ was. Have you ever seen a normal person go into a fit of rage when you tried to explain Veganism to them? The Vegan Bible will help answer many religious questions and provide morally correct Vegan answers. It used to be just a matter of Faith but now the Medical Science is proving our Vegan heritage. Veganism is growing and it will influence the greater populations of every country. I hope that you are ready for The Vegan Apocalypse. Thank You. |

Frans de Waal, 2016-04-25 A New York Times bestseller: A passionate and convincing case for the sophistication of nonhuman minds. —Alison Gopnik, The Atlantic Hailed as a classic, Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are? explores the oddities and complexities of animal cognition—in crows, dolphins, parrots, sheep, wasps, bats, chimpanzees, and bonobos—to reveal how smart animals really are, and how we’ve underestimated their abilities for too long. Did you know that octopuses use coconut shells as tools, that elephants classify humans by gender and language, and that there is a young male chimpanzee at Kyoto University whose flash memory puts that of humans to shame? Fascinating, entertaining, and deeply informed, de Waal’s landmark work will convince you to rethink everything you thought you knew about animal—and human—intelligence. |
| can a christian be vegan: A Faith Embracing All Creatures Tripp York, Andy Alexis-Baker, 2012-11-09 What is the purpose of animals? Didn't God give humans dominion over other creatures? Didn't Jesus eat lamb? These are the kinds of questions that Christians who advocate compassion toward other animals regularly face. Yet Christians who have a faith-based commitment to care for other animals through what they eat, what they wear, and how they live with other creatures are often unsure how to address these biblically and theologically based challenges. In A Faith Embracing All Creatures, authors from various denominational, national, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds wrestle with the text, theology, and tradition to explain the roots of their desire to live peaceably with their nonhuman kin. Together, they show that there are no easy answers on what the Bible says about animals. Instead, there are nuances and complexities, which even those asking these questions may be unaware of. Editors Andy Alexis-Baker and Tripp York have gathered a collection of essays that wrestle with these nuances and tensions in Scripture around nonhuman animals. In so doing, they expand the discussion of nonviolence, peacemaking, and reconciliation to include the oft-forgotten other members of God's good creation. |
| can a christian be vegan: Animal Theology Andrew Linzey, 1995 Animal rights is animal theology. The author argues that historical theology, creatively defined, must reject humanocentricity. He questions the assumption that if theology is to speak on this issue, 'it must only do so on the side of the oppressors.' His theological query investigates not only the abstractions of theory, but also the realities of hunting, animal experimentation, and genetic engineering. He is an important, pioneering, Christian voice speaking for those who cannot speak for themselves. |

| can a christian be vegan: Ethical Vegan Jordi Casamitjana, 2020-12-03 'Powerful and poignant.' Virginia McKenna OBE, Born Free Ethical veganism is not just a diet. Not just an opinion; nor a trend. This is a 21st-century revolution which began more than twenty centuries ago. Ethical veganism is not only about the food you choose to consume, it is a coherent philosophical belief that affects most areas of your life, and which could be the answer to today's global crises. Jordi Casamitjana is the vegan zoologist and animal protection campaigner whose landmark Employment Tribunal in 2020 made ethical veganism a protected belief in Great Britain. Ethical Vegan describes Jordi's extraordinary life and the animal encounters which led him to veganism and legal victory. It debunks myths and dispels preconceptions, offering a comprehensive analysis of veganism as a philosophy and as a socio-political transformative movement. Taking in history, science and everyday living, it explores how it is possible to dress ethically, travel, consume and work responsibly and, of course, eat well without compromising vegan ethics. Ethical Vegan is a riveting read - Jordi Casamitjana argues passionately for humans to interact with the world in a positive and compassionate way. This thought-provoking manifesto for doing no harm has the power to open people's minds and help to achieve a better future for all living things and the planet. As informative as it is incisive, as inspiring as it is inviting, this book will become one of the stand-out pieces of literature in the animal liberation movement. A must read whether you are vegan, vegetarian or otherwise!' Jay Brave |
| can a christian be vegan: God Unbound Brian McLaren, 2019-08-30 Theology, says Brian McLaren, is at its best when it is in conversation with the wild world that flourishes beyond our walls and outside our windows and cities. In God Unbound, McLaren follows his love of nature all the way to the Galapagos Islands. There, he pays close attention to the flora and fauna around him but also to what is happening within him, how the natural world awakens his soul in a way that organized religion cannot. The result is a sparkling and engrossing theology which refuses to remain indoors. |

| can a christian be vegan: King Solomon's Ring Konrad Lorenz, 2003-08-27 Solomon, the legend goes, had a magic ring which enabled him to speak to the animals in their own language. Konrad Lorenz was gifted with a similar power of understanding the animal world. He was that rare beast, a brilliant scientist who could write (and indeed draw) beautifully. He did more than any other person to establish and popularize the study of how animals behave, receiving a Nobel Prize for his work. King Solomon's Ring, the book which brought him worldwide recognition, is a delightful treasury of observations and insights into the lives of all sorts of creatures, from jackdaws and water-shrews to dogs, cats and even wolves. Charmingly illustrated by Lorenz himself, this book is a wonderfully written introduction to the world of our furred and feathered friends, a world which often provides an uncanny resemblance to our own. A must for any animal-lover! |

| can a christian be vegan: Dominion over Wildlife? Stephen M. Vantassel, 2009-04-01 For centuries Christians believed that God granted humanity dominion over the animal kingdom, meaning that we had a moral right to kill, manage, and eat animals including wildlife. Recently, however, environmental and animal rights activists have assaulted this traditional perspective. They argue that dominion as expressed in meat eating and hunting has resulted in species extinction and environmental degradation. Christian Animal Rights (CAR) activists suggest that the church must reevaluate its traditional beliefs in light of the fact that God's original creation was free of human on animal violence. God, they argue, did not want man's dominion to be expressed through trapping, killing, and eating of animals. These violent activities only came about after the Fall, as God condescended to our hardness of heart. CAR activists point to Christ's sacrificial work of reconciliation as a model for modern Christian behavior: as Christ sacrificed for us, we should avoid eating meat and hunting as ways we can participate in Christ's non-violent work of reconciling creation to himself. In this book, Stephen Vantassel investigates the biblical, ethical, and scientific arguments employed by the CAR movement concerning human-wildlife relations. In this regard, the book engages in practical theology by addressing several important questions: How should Christians treat our wildlife neighbors? Has the Church been wrong in its understanding of human dominion? Does God want Christians to avoid hunting, trapping, fishing, and adopt a vegetarian lifestyle? This book provides answers to these questions by detailing a theology the author calls, Shepherdism. |

| can a christian be vegan: The Vegetarian Myth (16pt Large Print Edition) Lierre Keith, 2011-06-10 Part memoir, nutritional primer, and political manifesto, this controversial examination exposes the destructive history of agricultureâ causing the devastation of prairies and forests, driving countless species extinct, altering the climate, and destroying the topsoilâ and asserts that, in order to save the planet, food must come from within living communities. In order for this to happen, the argument champions eating locally and sustainably and encourages those with the resources to grow their own food. Further examining the question of what to eat from the perspective of both human and environmental health, the account goes beyond health choices and discusses potential moral issues from eatingâ or not eatingâ animals. Through the deeply personal narrative of someone who practiced veganism for 20 years, this unique exploration also discusses alternatives to industrial farming, reveals the risks of a vegan diet, and explains why animals belong on ecologically sound farms. |
