Last night we ran across a review of a collection of essays to which Margaret made a contribution, which review expressed a very high regard for her essay in the volume. The book’s title is The Routledge Handbook of Religion and Animal Ethics; her essay is ‘The Difference Bodily Resurrection Makes: Caring for Animals While Hoping for Heaven’.
The book reviewer, Charles Taliaferro (in Religious Studies Review 47, 2021), says ‘The Routledge Handbook of Religion and Animal Ethics with 35 original chapters and a masterful introduction is a terrific contribution to a vital dimension of religious and environmental ethics’, so you know the whole volume warrants attention. But he reserves particular praise for Margaret’s chapter:
The last chapter in the book, “The Difference Bodily Resurrection Makes” by Margaret Adams [sic] is brilliant, and a great essay to end the book. If you have ever wondered if dogs will go to heaven, this chapter is for you. I will not do a spoiler; you will simply need to buy the book. But I will add that this chapter admirably links theology, philosophy, and religion to practical ethical practices here and now.
Margaret wouldn’t want me to call attention to it on the socials, but I reckon there are few enough people visiting this joint that I can brag about her here.
