They Shall Not Hurt Or Destroy [Paperback]

One of the best-kept secrets of Judaism and Christianity is that both religions have rich traditions favoring vegetarianism. They Shall Not Hurt or Destroy explores the many Judeo-Christian writers and leaders who have argued that God cares about all Creation, and so should we. This book is more than a compendium of writings and sayings of a wide range of writers and teachers from Jewish and Christian traditions. Murti offers discussion and context that enrich the myriad quotations. The core values and teachings of these faiths, Murti concludes, encourage plant-based eating.
