520 1  "This new study looks at how non-human animals have been 
       viewed in the Buddhist and Christian religious traditions.
       The concept of speciesism, coined in 1970 as an analogy to
       racism and discussed almost exclusively within 
       philosophical circles, is used to explore very basic 
       questions about which animals, human or otherwise, were 
       significant to early Buddhists and Christians. Drawing on 
       scriptures and interpretive traditions in Christianity and
       Buddhism, Waldau argues that decisions about human ethical
       responsibilities in both religions are deeply rooted in 
       ancient understandings of the place of humans in the world
       and our relationships with other animals in an integrated 
       cosmos. His study offers scholars and others interested in
       the bases for ethical decisions new insights into 
       Christian and Buddhist reasoning about animals as well as 
       what each might have to offer to the current discussions 
       about animal rights and environmental ethics."--Jacket.
