Theology of Animals (Webinar)
$20.00
Presented By Geoff Chang, Corneliu C. Simuţ and Anthony Neel
A perennial concern pertaining to the human condition in Christian theology is the material embodiment bestowed upon humanity at Creation. Consequently, this concern inevitably leads to considerations regarding other non-human creatures who share such materiality—animals. To this end, The Andrew Fuller Center for Baptist Studies is excited to announce an upcoming Spring webinar that indexes the theological understanding of animal life in the writings of Augustine of Hippo, Andrew Fuller, and Charles Spurgeon. The survey of these consequential theologians will help bring to the fore reflections upon how Christians in history have thought about fellow creatures, and the relationship humans have with them.
