"A daring and profoundly original work. There are theologians who have spent their lives writing on ethical issues who do not have the kind of grasp of the issues that J. R. Hyland has and the creativity of her approach. She speaks with great authority, combining scholarship and passion with a prophetic voice."—Stephen H. Webb, author, Good Eating

"With cogent exegesis, J. R. Hyland exposes the false theology of slaughter and sacrifice, which has for too long obscured the Bible's genuine message of care and compassion for all living creatures. Books like God's Covenant with Animals bring the peaceable kingdom one step closer to earth."—Gary Kowalski, author, The Souls of Animals

"In clear and simple prose, J. R. Hyland tells the intriguing story of the progressive unfolding and understanding of God's revelation about animals. There are many interesting and provocative gems tucked away in this small volume."—Richard Alan Young, author Is God a Vegetarian?: Christianity, Vegetarianism, and Animal Rights
