THEOLOGY OF PAUL
M.M.NINAN
___________________________________________________________
Respect for the lives of animals is why some people don’t eat meat. Respect for the lives of animals should be a
greater concern for those of us who do eat meat. What does it say about our culture, about us, that the activities
of food production are performed in routinized, assembly line fashion far removed for the lives of most of us?
This is clearly seen in the still surviving tribal system which are very similar to the early nomadic tribes that rely on
cattle. One such system is found among the Nilotics of the Southern Sudan among whom I had the privilege of
working while working in the University of Juba as a Physics Professor. During the early organizational period of
the Sudan Pentecostal Churches and the establishment of the Sudan Theological College I have undertaken a
research project on the Nilotics. The surprising similarity between their customs and beliefs with Judaism has been
impressive.
