About the Book

How Do You Baptize a Whale? raises the question of why humans believe they rule the universe--especially when they share planet Earth with amazing creatures like whales and elephants. Episcopal priest Drew Kadel's argument is that it's not tools or technology that make humans great; it's their ability to show compassion toward fellow humans and, indeed, all of God's creation. He also explores how religion has been misused to justify power, colonialism, and racism and invites readers to rethink what it really means to live faithfully and ethically.

About the Author :
Drew Kadel is an Episcopal priest and Professor Emeritus of the General Theological Seminary, where he was director of the library. For the past decade he's preached at churches in the Bronx and elsewhere. His sermons can be found at drewkadel.wordpress.com. His previous book, Matrology: A Bibliography of Writings by Christian Women from the First to the Fifteenth Centuries, was published in 1995.

Review :
"Situating humankind within a vast universe as we shed our arrogance in discovering, for example, that functional objects are used by monkeys, dolphins, crows, humpback whales, and even bees, Drew Kadel urges us on--through experiences, reflections, and listening--into a more compassionate, humble, and joyful life in which we ponder what might it mean to baptize a whale."
--Deirdre Good, Emerita Professor of New Testament Studies, General Theological Seminary

"The Silicon Valley-led assault on the specialness of being human--embodied in technologies that bid to replace human workers while offering only an insulting facsimile of human speech--is tempting many of us toward an embrace of old-fashioned human exceptionalism. Andrew Kadel's winsome and theologically informed treatise reminds us why we can't solve our cultural problems by retreating into our usual Master of Creation pose. This man's project is to love both God and dogs, and to help the rest of us to better do the same."
--Philip Christman, Lecturer, University of Michigan
