Animals:
Their Past and Future (#3951)
by G.H. (George Hawkins) Pember (1837–1910). This short, yet insightful
Scripture study of the animal kingdom is from the author of the classic,
Earth's Earliest Ages. Although he approaches this subject from the
erroneous, traditional teaching of the ‘immortality of the soul,’ which
he extends to the animal kingdom, he nonetheless dispels other
myths and mistranslations that have barred a proper understanding of
animals. He correctly contends that both man and animal are nephesh
chaiyah – “a living soul,” and that resurrection extends to the animal
kingdom. In elementary fashion he makes a notable addition to the theme
of God’s grand plan of redemption that includes animals, by what he
calls “the Scriptural proof of the immortality of all God’s creation.”
He also stresses the theme of the just treatment of animals, proposing
that our current dealings with animals are to be vested, like ours, in
their glorious future. Facsimile of the original 1883 edition. 33 pages.
