God's Creatures: A Biblical View of Animals

by Susan Bulanda

Overview

As an animal behavior consultant and Christian, Susan Bulanda draws on years of professional experience, scientific reading, and theological study to present a biblical view of animals: how and why they behave as they do, how God sees them, how he uses them to accomplish his purposes, and how they fit into the rest of creation. For committed Christians who love animals, or animal lovers who are curious to know how the Christian scriptures address animal issues, there is plenty here to inform and delight.
