Young, a linguistics and New Testament scholar, attempts to answer the question being asked with greater and greater frequency: Are Christians morally obligated to be vegetarians?\u003cbr\u003eMany people are confused about the apparent mixed messages within the Bible. On the one hand, God prescribes a vegetarian diet in the Garden of Eden and the apocalyptic visions of Isaiah and John imply the restoration of a vegetarian diet. However, it is also clear that God permits, Jesus partakes in, and Paul sanctions the eating of flesh. Does the Bible give any clear guidance? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eClose readings of key biblical texts pertaining to dietary customs, vegetarianism, and animal rights make up the substance of the book. Rather than ignoring or offering a literal, twentieth-century interpretation of the passages, the author analyzes the voices of these conflicting dietary motifs within their own social contexts. Interwoven throughout these readings are discussions of contemporary issues, such as animal testing and experimentation, the fur industry, raising animals in factories, and the effects of meat-eating on human health.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Alan Young\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Open Court\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/30\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 6.20w x 0.55d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780812693935\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/17\/1998 pg. 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/1998 pg. 84\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Court","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40177448747123,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":23.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_6bc536bc-bfd1-47f9-ae48-ef18555fcb01.jpg?v=1655384965","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/is-god-a-vegetarian-christianity-vegetarianism-and-animal-rights-9780812693935","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
