veganism
Michael Gilmour, Professor of New Testament and English Literature at Providence University College, delves into the spiritual and ethical foundations of Christian veganism, presenting a compelling case for how his faith informs his dietary choices. Drawing on biblical teachings and personal convictions, Gilmour highlights veganism as a form of protest against animal cruelty, a means of protecting vulnerable people, and a manifestation of eschatological hope. Through this lens, he argues that Christian veganism is not merely a lifestyle choice but a profound expression of worship and a tangible anticipation of the coming kingdom of God.
