Inhaltsangabe

This timely work develops a stewardship model of Christian ethics that delivers solid biblical insight into the moral controversies surrounding such biological issues as assisted reproduction, genetics, technology and experimentation, human sexuality, and environmental care. By applying the three divine commands of Genesis 1 and 2 — to fill, rule over, and care for creation — to the most recent research in biology, the authors bridge the expanding gap between science and ethics.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

This book is part of a series - Studies in a Christian World View - that focuses on the relation of Christianity to the various academic disciplines - philosophy, psychology, economics, the arts, history, literature. The series addresses difficult questions that arise when we bring considerations derived from a specific religious worldview to bear on matters common to both Christians and non-Christians.
