Summary

This book sets out to develop a Christology that is far more conscious of the evolutionary history of humanity and current evolutionary theories about the natural world in general. It argues that one means of developing a Christology that can be informed by such theories is through the concepts of wisdom and wonder. Both have a defined theological role, but also act as mediating concepts with science, and point to a spirituality that incorporates both science and theology.

Author Biography

Among her many important works are Creation through Wisdom: Theology and the New Biology (2000), The Ethics of Nature (2004), and Genetics and Christian Ethics (2006).
