In recent years, public awareness of social responsibility, environmental concerns and technological pressures on human values has come to challenge the sanctity of the scientist and the dogma of human progress being identified solely with materialistic research. Recent scientific techniques, particularly in genetics and molecular biology, need to be carefully appraised; there is growing concern over the moral and ethical issues which future scientific research might bring. Arising from meetings of international scholars at the Oxford International Symposium this volume presents and interdisciplinary review of the debate between science and theology. Theological, scientific, philosophical and sociological strands are bought together in four main sections: Theology and the Sciences today; Nature, Man and God; Epistemological issues; and Sociological Critique.
