Editorial Reviews

Norm Phelps offers some shrill advocacy of Judeo-Christian vegetarianism in The Dominion of Love: Animal Rights According to the Bible. While acknowledging that the Bible never openly condemns the eating of animals, and actually seems to condone it, Phelps argues that vegetarianism is the diet that most reflects the Bible's overall message of love and mercy. The book's directive is sometimes overly strident, as when Phelps claims that "anyone who believes that animal exploitation is ethically acceptable because the Bible approves of it should, if they are to be consistent in their use of the Bible, also believe that human slavery is ethically acceptable not to mention ethnic cleansing, genocide and rape."

Publishers Weekly

Spiritual Outreach Director of the Fund for Animals in Washington, DC, Phelps here argues that the Bible's messages of love and compassion can be applied to our relationship with animals. He negotiates this very tricky terrain with some skill, and while he concedes that his conclusions rely heavily on the notion of our ethical development since biblical times, his work still ought to satisfy the curiosity of the Christian and environmentally minded reader alike.
