Surviving cave paintings are of animal forms, and closer to us, as Ken Stone points out, animals populate biblical literature from beginning to end. This book explores the significance of animal studies for the interpretation of the Hebrew Bible. The field has had relatively little impact on biblical interpretation to date, but combined with biblical scholarship, it sheds useful light on animals, animal symbolism, and the relations among animals, humans, and God?not only for those who study biblical literature and its ancient context, but for contemporary readers concerned with environmental, social, and animal ethics. Without the presence of domesticated and wild animals, neither biblical traditions nor the religions that make use of the Bible would exist in their current forms. Although parts of the Bible draw a clear line between humans and animals, other passages complicate that line in multiple ways and challenge our assumptions about the roles animals play therein. Engaging influential thinkers, including Jacques Derrida, Donna Haraway, and other experts in animal and ecological studies, Reading the Hebrew Bible with Animal Studies shows how prehumanist texts reveal unexpectedly relevant dynamics and themes for our posthumanist age. 606 $aAnimals in the Bible 606 $aAnimal welfare$xBiblical teaching 606 $aAnimals$xReligious aspects 615 0$aAnimals in the Bible. 615 0$aAnimal welfare$xBiblical teaching. 615 0$aAnimals$xReligious aspects. 676 $a221.8/59 700 $aStone$b Ken$g(Kenneth A.),$f1962-$01614334 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824307103321 996 $aReading the Hebrew Bible with animal studies$93944120 997 $aUNINA
