Reviews
There is no more important treatment of ethical questions than David Clough's two-volume work On Animals (Bloomsbury), which he completed last year. The first volume, Systematic Theology, offers a clear-minded theological account of the interconnectedness of all things. The second, Theological Ethics, presents a series of proposals on what those interconnections require of us. Clough seems to have thought through every possible question from every possible angle... * The Christian Century *
David Clough's On Animals is indisputably the most important and comprehensive theological treatment of animals to have appeared in any language at any time in the Christian tradition. -- Brian Brock, Reader in Theological Ethics, University of Aberdeen * International Journal for Systematic Theology *
I am neither a Christian nor a theologian, but anyone concerned about human mistreatment of animals will hope that Clough's view prevails among Christians. -- Peter Singer, Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics, Princeton University, USA
Clough's work in On Animals is progressive and explorative ... a new benchmark for the field. -- Matthew Barton, University of Leeds, UK * Theological Book Review *
A mix of constructive theology and critical doctrinal survey -- James R. A. Merrick, St. Francis University * Anglican Theology Review *
