About this book

The essays collected in this volume apply an interdisciplinary approach to explore aspects of the relationship between animal and human in late antiquity. With a focus on ways that anthropozoological connections were defined in the emergent Christian religious discourse of the epoch, the authors contribute to our understanding of a thematic area largely neglected in previous research.

Reviews

"As a whole, Animal Kingdom of Heaven is a remarkably useful contribution to the study of animal symbolism in Christian literature of late antiquity. [...] The result is an enriched interdisciplinary work that conjoins the study of religion and animals and shows the expanding potential of this last discipline."
