Description
This timely work develops a stewardship model of Christian ethics that delivers solid biblical insight into the moral controversies surrounding such biological issues as assisted reproduction, genetics, technology and experimentation, human sexuality, and environmental care. By applying the three divine commands of Genesis 1 and 2 — to fill, rule over, and care for creation — to the most recent research in biology, the authors bridge the expanding gap between science and ethics.
