✦ Synopsis


According to Genesis, humans are made in God's image but animals are not. Hannah M. StrοΏ½mmen challenges this view by critiquing the boundary between humans and animals in the Bible through the work of philosopher Jacques Derrida. Building on Derrida's The Animal That Therefore I Am, StrοΏ½mmen brings to light significant moments where the lines between the divine, human, and animal are ambiguous. A rich range of biblical texts are covered, from Noah as the first carnivorous man in Genesis 9 to the vision of clean and unclean animals in Acts 10 and from Daniel's political and apocalyptic animals to Revelation's beasts.
