In Whose Image?: Faith, Science, and the New Genetics

by John P. Burgess (Editor)

Recent developments in the biological sciences pose challenging questions to its theology and to the church's understanding of what it means to be human--that is, made in the image of God. These essays by pastors, scientists, and theologians establish a dialogue between science and faith. Study guides accompany each chapter, making this book a uniquely helpful resource for individuals and church groups.

Reviews

[April]

I would say this is a good introductory book for group study. It is for beginner science and theology folks. So, it was intersting but didn't overwhelm me.
