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.
?Perhaps the most important contribution of this book is Peterson?s retrieval of a strand of Christian theology that focuses on the human task to sustain, restore, and improve the conditions of our incomplete and damaged creation ? including humans as part of creation ? rather than to accept as God-given the state of the creation as we find it today. . . . Opens new terrain in bioethics for evangelical Christians. . . . One doesn?t have to agree with every move Peterson makes here to recognize the great significance of this book for the current debate.?
