Animal typology
Troping Christ as a lamb, a tiger or a lion is fair enough. But until I see a theologian genuinely, with neither negativity nor sarcasm, exploring the trope of (let's say) Christ the hyena, Christ the tapeworm, Christ the spider -- I'll know that there is as yet no new natural theology, and the slogan 'everything is holy' has not properly been inhabited by human thought.
