Can the origins of morality be explained entirely in evolutionary
terms? If so, what are the implications for Christian moral
theology and ethics? Is the latter redundant, as socio-biologists
often assert? Stephen Pope argues that theologians need to engage
with evolutionary theory rather than ignoring it. He shows that our
growing knowledge of human evolution is compatible with Christian
faith and morality, provided that the former is not interpreted
reductionistically and the latter is not understood in
fundamentalist ways. Christian ethics ought to incorporate
evolutionary approaches to human nature to the extent that they
provide helpful knowledge of the conditions of human flourishing,
both collective and individual. From this perspective, a strong
affirmation of human dignity and appreciation for the theological
virtues of faith, hope and charity is consistent with a revised
account of natural law and the cardinal virtues.
