Animal Rights and the Hebrew Bible is written by Saul M. Olyan and published by Oxford University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0197609406 (ISBN 10) and 9780197609408 (ISBN 13).

Does the Hebrew Bible ascribe an implicit form of legal personhood or legal rights to animals? If so, which animals--domesticated or wild, or both--receive which rights, and for what purpose? For the first time, author Saul M. Olyan addresses these questions in detail and explores how the evidence of the Hebrew Bible might contribute to contemporary debates about animal rights in the academy, in the courts, in the public square, and in religious communities.
