Weaving and roaring : animals and a religious studies-centered methodological bricolage. Guardians of the gateway : shifting historical settings for Christianity and animals. The Ephesian lion and clay sparrows : animals in the Christian canon and early apocryphal traditions. Counted among the saints : animals in medieval hagiography. The granted image : dogs in Christian story and art. Animals return to the sanctuary : blessings of animals in contemporary American culture. Animals are good to think : transforming theological considerations of animals
'Analysis of animals in the history of the Christian tradition has been exclusively symbolic, but Laura Hobgood-Oster utilizes the feminist perspective in her examination of the impact of animal presence. In challenging the metaphoric reading of animals that reinforces human superiority and dominance, Holy Dogs and Asses underscores animal agency.'
