Скачать или смотреть Environment & ecology: animal welfare ethics in the Bible

Many passages in the Bible are typically understood as teaching an explicit ethic of care and concern for animals and the environment. However, Biblical scholar Cyril Rodd challenged such readings of the Bible in his work “Glimpses of a Strange Land: Studies in Old Testament Ethics” (2001). This video subjects Rodd’s arguments to critical scrutiny.
