More about the book
The book explores the disconnect between the Christian belief in the logos as the source of life and the human-centric nature of worship, which often overlooks the significance of creation and animals. It highlights the absence of liturgical practices that acknowledge animals' roles in human life, including celebrating their companionship, praying for their suffering, and honoring their deaths. This examination calls for a deeper integration of animal life into Christian worship and a more inclusive understanding of creation.
