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.

The concept of human personhood is central to theology and philosophy. It has also become crucial in interdisciplinary fields like bio-ethics and theology and science. In this book leading European and American scholars explore the dimensions of personhood from scientific and theological perspectives. Contributors include Mary Midgely, Fraser Watts, Philip Hefner, Michael Welker, Dennis Bielfeldt and John A. Teske. This is an important collection and shows the extent to which the current dialogue between science and theology is no longer confined to discussing the relation of theology with physics and biology, but also with neuroscience, psychology and sociology.

The concept of a divine design has traditionally been based on the assumption of a world order. If there is order in creation, this proves there is a God: if disorder, then no God. Or so it has been assumed by design proponents as well as their critics. This volume questions the picture. The sciences of complexity show how nature abounds with fluid and semi-stable patterns which are essential for the emergence and further propagation of evolutionary order. Order and disorder seem to wander together. The fact that fundamental physics, chemistry and mathematics appear as if tuned for the emergence and harbouring of life, for the support and channelling of the evolutionary processes of creation and selection, continues to trigger religious awe and reflection. It is also argued that a Christian theology has the potential of affirming instability and transient orders as part of the "grandeur" of creation. Authors of the essays in this work include prominent voices from the secular, the Protestant, the Catholic and the Orthodox traditions.

Kloning, genterapi, genmodifiering och stamcellsforskning är ord och begrepp som under senare år införlivats i vårt ordförråd. Många förhoppningar knyts till nya möjligheter de erbjuder. Men hur bedömer vi användningen av dem och vad bestämmer våra etiska ställningstaganden?I Etik och genteknik sätter fyra forskare in de brännande dagsaktuella etiska frågorna i ett långt historiskt sammanhang. De tar sin utgångspunkt i olika uppfattningar om människans värde och klarlägger skilda religiösa och filosofiska perspektiv på svårigheterna kring beslut rörande genteknik. Diskussionen sker i fyra avsnitt som i turordning belyser ämnet i sekulärfilosofiska, judiska, kristna och muslimska traditioner.Författarna är knutna till det av Knut och Alice Wallenberg finansierade etikforskningsprogrammet i anslutning till Swegene och WCN vars mål är att undersöka centrala etiska problem relaterade till den postgenomiska forskningen. De medverkande arbetar vid Lunds universitet och Malmö högskola och bedriver forskning och utbildning inom områden som relaterar till etik och religion.
