"The awesome responsibility that newly acquired capabilities in genetic engineering have forced upon humanity forms the background for this multi-disciplinary work by Celia Deane-Drummond...written at a popular level and requires no prior background in science or theology. Research News and Opportunities in Science and Theology

This book offers a new theology of nature based on wisdom christology.The author argues that an exaggerated emphasis on mere information has deprived modern science of its capacity to respond adequately to the moral dilemmas resulting from our increased power over nature. Dr. Deane-Drummond proposes a theology of creation that is in tune with recent developments in biological science, including genetics and ecology, and points to a new ethical approach to developments in biological science.Clearly and accessibly written for those without a science background, this is a truly multi-disciplinary study, drawing on Christian theology, biological science, feminism, biblical studies, philosophy, ethics and sociology.
