‘Saving’ language is often employed in relation to animals—both in conservation campaigns and in animal theology—and therefore the question as to how we speak about animal redemption is arguably of both rhetorical and theological importance. This article considers the rhetorical and hermeneutical dynamics of ‘redemption talk’ in the work of two animal theologians, Andrew Linzey and David Clough. Although language alone may not save animals, cultivating life-giving theological grammars that make for the flourishing of all living beings is arguably a slow and deep and important work that has the capacity to go the distance. Rhetoric could herein become a partner to ethical and practical work that shares the concern for the safety of and care for animals, as well as a resource that could shape how the redemption of animals could be imagined publicly. In short, this article seeks to demonstrate that how we speak about animal salvation matters.

Given that today’s mass extinction of species is driven by human activity, it matters profoundly how the place and role of humans vis-à-vis the earth’s biodiversity is construed. In this regard, Anglican theologian Christopher Southgate argues that the idea of being created in God’s image (imago Dei) results in an eschatological calling to counter both anthropogenic and natural extinction as co-redeemers with God. How should Southgate’s perspective be evaluated in light of the ever-worsening extinction crisis and our attempts to mitigate it through conservation efforts? To answer this question, this article connects systematic theology with ethnographic research in the environmental humanities. In particular, it engages the work of philosopher and anthropologist Thom van Dooren on ‘extinction stories’ in order to explore how human and nonhuman life is interrelated in conservation. It is argued that speaking of humans as co-redeemers is problematic, given the crucial difference between God’s saving and redeeming work and human faulty and contingent ‘doings’ in conservation that remain ambiguous.
考虑到今天物种的大规模灭绝是由人类活动造成的，人类在-à-vis地球生物多样性中的地位和作用是如何被理解的，这一点非常重要。在这方面，圣公会神学家克里斯托弗·索斯盖特(Christopher Southgate)认为，按照上帝的形象(imago Dei)被创造的想法，导致了与上帝共同救赎者对抗人为和自然灭绝的末世论召唤。鉴于日益恶化的物种灭绝危机和我们试图通过保护努力来减轻这种危机，我们应该如何评价索斯盖特的观点?为了回答这个问题，本文将系统神学与环境人文学科的民族志研究联系起来。特别是，它涉及哲学家和人类学家Thom van Dooren关于“灭绝故事”的工作，以探索人类和非人类生命如何在保护中相互关联。有人认为，将人类称为共同救赎者是有问题的，因为上帝的拯救和救赎工作与人类在保护中错误和偶然的“行为”之间的关键区别仍然是模糊的。

This article explores the loss of biodiversity and species extinction from the perspective of Christian eschatology and, more specifically, the hope for eternal life. A thought experiment on the coexistence of various hominid and hominin species is entertained in order to gain some clarity on the nature of the problems posed by extinction. The question is then raised whether any of the traditional eschatological symbols of the reign of God, a final judgment, the resurrection of the dead, or eternal life can be retrieved to address the problems posed by extinction. It is argued that each of these symbols poses serious difficulties in this regard while there is an apparent contradiction embedded in the notion of eternal life. This is not resolved through notions of ‘objective immortality,’ as this by itself eternalizes the injustices of history. With Joseph Sittler, it is argued that only some notion of cosmic redemption can suffice, but how this is to be imagined remains elusive.
