What does 'autonomy' mean from a Christian perspective? What could
a Christian environmental ethics bring to the debate about
genetically modified food? This book investigates conflicting
claims in the public realm about food biotechnology. It critically
evaluates the contribution such technologies make to sustainable
agricultural production and environmental stewardship. Challenging
the received wisdom in popular environmental theology, the book
defends the role of the human person as steward of creation and
presents a human-centred Christian environmental ethics rooted in
the Kantian tradition of moral philosophy. From this vantage point
the author critiques the partiality of many contemporary
environmental theologies, which argue for a return to the
technological simplicity of an idealised past, or emphasise virtue
while taking little account of the role that institutional issues
play in framing and defining policy and good practice. In this
context the author examines whether or not, under current
conditions, transgenic food can contribute to sustainable
agricultural production.
