Animals in Heaven?: A Catholic Pastoral Response to Questions about Animals By Fr Terry Martin
PUBLISHER: Wipf and Stock Publishers
Read this SARX interview with Fr Martin: Animals in Heaven?
INFORMATION
Christians of all traditions have often puzzled with the question “Do dogs go to heaven?” Drawing on Catholic teaching, and on his long pastoral experience as a parish priest, Terry Martin expands that concept to consider wider issues around all animals, domesticated and free-living, and why they are here.
Within a context of Christian faith, he seeks to understand the place of animals in God’s complex creation and the relationship that human beings have (for good or ill) with those animals.
More than that, he looks at the big questions which so many ask about who, under God, animals are and what meaning, if any, animal lives have from a Catholic Christian perspective.
REVIEWS
A strong argument for the place of animals in the life of Christians.
This book brings together the words of the Gospels, the insight of Popes,
the lives of saints, and the experiences of a parish priest to demonstrate
that the reanalysis of the place of animals in Christian teaching,
particularly Catholic teaching, is long overdue. Each chapter closes with an
extract from Pope Francis’s encyclical “Laudato Si’” and a prayer. I hope
every member of the Catholic community will read it and ponder on its
message, talk about it within their church community, recommend the book
widely and so spread the essential understanding of the place of animals in
our world.

Luminous book. Beautifully written with great clarity. Immensely
readable. A must read! Sorry l'm too far away to get to the book launch on
Saturday, 16th November, at St. Mary of the Angels R.C Church, Worthing.
