In What Does the Bible Say About Animals? (New City Press, 2022) author Jaime Waters surveys all the different ways that animals appear in the Bible. She highlight animals as a part of creation—as something that’s blessed and cared for by God—but also animals as food and animals as sacrifices. She also explores the possibility of animal afterlife and the ethical responsibility humans have for animals. A Biblical scholar, Waters focused some of her early scholarship on agricultural and ecological issues in the Bible. Waters received her bachelor’s degree from Boston College and is now an associate professor in the BC School of Theology and Ministry.
