Theological Foundations in an Age of Biological Intervention

By David C. Ratke

In the context of genetics and bioethics the church has a responsibility to engage science and to raise questions of meaning and value related to scientific research. This means that the theological resources of the Christian tradition and its Lutheran expression are to be brought to bear in considering the nature of the human in the presence of God and one another. This book assembles the papers presented at the 2007 Conference of the Association of Teaching Theologians ¿ ELCA/ELCIC at Lenoir Ryhine College, Hickory, North Carolina.
