ABSTRACT
This chapter addresses human animals’ relationship to the countless nonhuman animals with whom we share the larger Earth community. Truly a principal global challenge facing our species, this inevitable human-nonhuman intersection is seen far better today than it was only a few decades ago. Through helpful lenses afforded by interdisciplinary and multicultural approaches, humans today can identify the relevance of religious practice and scholarship to humans’ inevitable connections with other-than-human animals.
