For more than a decade developments in science have prompted
wide-ranging discussions about human nature. Gone are the days when
this subject was the preserve of theologians and philosophers;
today the fields of genetics and neuroscience are shifting
attention to the "biological basis of human nature. This engaging
book takes readers straight to the intersection of religion and
science, exploring what new scientific knowledge does and does not
say about religious views on personhood.
Written by an international, interdisciplinary team of scholars
sponsored by the John Templeton Foundation, "From Cells to Souls --
and Beyond examines such questions as personal identity, the
meaning of "human," the mind-body relationship, and subjective
spiritual experience. Each topic is discussed against the backdrop
of biblical theology with the relevant science made clear. The
result is a fresh interpretation of the Christian doctrine of
humankind true to both science and Scripture.
