Research & Writing
Every year, Tapestry research and writing bring critical information to key populations—activists, scholars, students, and religious leaders—bringing change, one reader at a time, for animals, people, and the planet.
Tapestry has recently published four books:
Vegan Ethics: AMORE—Five Reasons to Choose Vegan is a concise, compact, easy-to-read and accessible book that covers all of the key reasons to choose vegan.
In the Animals and Religion program, two books covering core sacred texts on the topic of animal ethics:
Oppressive Liberation: Sexism in Animal Activism, is an intersectional, vanguard examination on a much-neglected topic that is key to the health and success of the movement.
Vegan Ethics: AMORE
Likely the most compact and comprehensive coverage of the many important reasons to choose vegan: animal well-being, human health, human justice (world hunger, sexism, and homophobia, for example), religious ethics, and the health of the planet. Written by Professor Emeritus Dr. Kemmerer, who is known internationally for her extensive work in ethics, animals, and intersectional justice, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in social justice, ethics, environmental philosophy, intersectionality, human health, religious studies, ethics, or vegan activism.
Animals & Christianity
In what ways does Christianity call people to a life of compassion, peace, and service, and how does this matter to animals, the earth, and what we choose to eat? What do sacred stories and religious leaders teach about how to live our daily lives, and how is this shaping the lives of Christian activists? Enriched with thoughtful and inspiring quotes, this concise and well-written book answers all of these questions—and many more.
Animals and Christianity is part of a book series created by Tapestry as part of the in-progress Animals and Religion website. Each book in this series explores ethics and rightful relations with animals as outlined in one of the world’s largest religions, highlighting core sacred teachings (such as compassion, humility, service, and simplicity), inspiring spiritual integrity, and helping to work toward a more peaceful and compassionate world.
Animals & Judaism
In what ways does Judaism call for a life of compassion, peace, and service, and how does this matter to animals, the earth, and what we choose to eat? What do sacred stories and the prophets teach about how to live our daily lives, and how is this shaping the lives of Jewish activists? Enriched with thoughtful and inspiring quotes, this concise and well-written book answers all of these questions—and many more.
