Summary

Drawing on an international panel of writers representing different disciplinary perspectives, Beyond Determinism seeks to assess the impact of recent developments in genetic science and stem cell research on the Christian understanding of the human person. Outlining the theories on pastoral care for those involved in genetic research, Beyond Determinism also examines the theories of "common good", "determinism", and "reductionism". Notable Contributors include: Ted Peters (CTNS Berkeley), Colin Gunton (King's College, London), Gareth Jones (New Zealand) and Carver T. Yu (Hong Kong).
