In this second volume of his comprehensive survey of human practice in relation to other animals, and building on the analysis of Christian ethics, as they relate to animals, developed in Volume 1, Clough reviews the uses humans make of other animals for food, clothing, labor, as research subjects, for sport and entertainment, as pets or companions, and the impact of humans on wild animals and argues that Christians have strong faith-based reasons to acknowledge the significance of the issues raised and change their practice in response.

By engaging with the Christian tradition regarding creation, reconciliation, and redemption, this book, through the application of principles of systematic theology, challenges modern assumptions about our relationship with animals and argues for a transformation in our thinking that could be brought about by considering animals’ place in God's creation.
