Review Quotes:
"An anthology of the caliber of Religious Vegetarianism makes a wonderful case for the ability of scholars today to be able to go into the oldest, most established traditions or codified entities and expose the unexpectedly radical ideas that are embedded there." -- Worldviews
"This wonderful book provides the cornerstone, the religious basis for a diet rich in compassion and a credit to faith." -- Ingrid Newkirk, President, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals
"Religious Vegetarianism is a stimulating collection of diverse and often out-of-the-way texts. The contrast between Eastern and Western religious texts on vegetarianism should prove to be especially thought-provoking for adherents of Western religions." -- Peter Singer, author of Animal Liberation
