T&T Clark Creative Creatures: Values and Ethical Issues in Theology, Science and Technology (Issues in Science and Theology)

Product Description This anthology, with contributions by leading scholars, introduces a new theme into the growing field of science-and-theology. This is the third volume published in association with ESSSAT in the series. This volume focuses on two topics that have so far received little attention, in the growing field of science-and-theology, i.e. ethical matters and issues raised by the technological applications of scientific knowledge. The book's main themes are: technology's impact on our worldview; morality, nature, and culture; and, morality in a technological society. The book is a selection of contributions to the ESSSAT conference in Nijmegen on "Values and Ethical Issues in Theology, Science and Technology". The essays have been selected on the basis of quality, and revised in order to create a comprehensive and carefully focused volume. Review 'The essays were revised in order to create a carefully focused volume, and the editors have done well in producing a tightly knit book, well worthy of review by participants in the ongoing theology and science dialogue.'--Sanford Lakoff"This is a well-written book which features short essays on some of the most important contemporary issues in science and technology, and religion."--Sanford Lakoff"This is a collection of 14 informative and provocative papers."Theology, November 2008 About the Author Ulf Görman is Professor of Ethics at Lund University, Sweden.
