We have quietly performed one of the strangest tricks in the history of belief. We let go of the old story that a creator set us above all living things and handed us the world to use—and then we kept the world anyway. We dropped the doctrine and pocketed the privilege. We still breed, train, cage, eat, and rearrange the lives of other creatures as though a permission slip from heaven were tucked in our back pocket, even after we have announced, loudly, that we no longer believe in the one who signed it. This book begins in that contradiction and follows it everywhere it leads.

Peter the Apostle came with a calculator. How many times should I forgive my brother—up to seven? It is a reasonable question, the question of a man who wants a rule he can follow and a number he can reach. Most of us arrive at this subject holding the same calculator. We want to know what a grudge costs, whether the cost is worth it, and how much longer we are obliged to keep paying. The answer Peter received was not a larger number.
