Synopsis
Nature around us and indeed, our own human nature are constantly changing. The question before us then is not if there will be change, but rather whether we will be conscious and conscientious about the course of that change. In Changing Human Nature, James Peterson helps us to think through what our part should be from a Christian perspective.

About the Author
James Peterson is professor of theology and ethics and Roy A. Hope Chair in Theology, Ethics, and Christian Worldview at McMaster Divinity College in Hamilton, Ontario. His other books include Genetic Turning Points: The Ethics of Human Genetic Interventi
From Booklist
Many books of late argue either the incoherence of religious belief in a scientific age or that faith is a rational way to seek meaning in the world. Peterson’s work is a refreshing alternative. Committed to both Christianity and Western science, he argues that scientific research with its potential to shape the world is “part of the God-given mandate for human beings to share in the redemption and development of creation.” Shaping the world can include changing our genetic makeup. So Peterson carefully examines the ethical concerns about genetic intervention raised by philosophers, theologians, and bioethicists (e.g., does the change affect one person, or is it passed on to descendants?) and then proposes four standards that must be met before an intervention can proceed. This is a thoughtful work that demonstrates that religious faith in general and the historic Christian tradition in particular can not only coexist synergistically with science but also make a positive contribution to addressing the ethical questions scientific research engenders. --Christopher McConnell
