Palgrave Frontiers in Philosophy of Religion: A Theodicy For All Creatures Great And Small

Dougherty, T.; Nagasawa, Y.; Wielenberg, E.

Considerations that render human suffering theologically intelligible seem inapplicable to animal suffering. In this book, Dougherty defends radical possibilities for animal afterlife that allow a soul-making theodicy to apply to their case.
