| Summary: | The reconciliation of the cosmos pertains to all relationships, including the broken relationships of human animals with farmed animals. Christian hope looks to the fullness of life after death, when all animals are satisfied by the abundance of God's provision, and there is no more hunger and no more need to kill some animals for the benefit of others. This article argues that Christians should examine how their treatment of farmed animals inhibits the primary creaturely purpose of giving glory to God and how eschatological hope for resurrected life to come calls for changes in human and farmed animal relationships now. |
