"""There is a significant amount of literature in the fields of animal ethics and environmental ethics. A large subset of this literature is from a theistic point of view. Crosby's work is unique in that he comes at these issues from the perspective of 'religious naturalism.' Both words are necessary in that his approach is nontheistic yet very much concerned with reverence for value in nature, in general, and for value in nonhuman animals, in particular. It is a significant contribution to the scholarly community."" - Daniel A. Dombrowksi, author of A Platonic Philosophy of Religion: A Process Perspective"
