Learning Love from a Tiger

 
“Unique, wide ranging, and beautifully written, this powerful plea for more mutually constructive relationships offers an appreciation of the natural world and our neighbors in the nonhuman universe. Learning Love from a Tiger respects cultural differences and religious sensibilities even as it challenges human-on-human oppression.”
Paul Waldau, Professor of Anthrozoology, Canisius College

“Capper’s complex and timely work addresses the multifaceted ways that religions and nature shape each other. He points out that the results are often fraught with ambivalence, an important conclusion that leaves the reader without simple answers. This book both introduces various religious traditions and delves into the complicated environmental issues that intersect, in sometimes unanticipated ways, with religion.”
Laura Hobgood, Professor of Environmental Studies and Religion, Southwestern University
