Sommario/riassunto

Is nature undergoing fundamental change? What role does nature play in theological ethics? And how might ethical deliberation proceed 'without nature' in the future? This book brings leading natural and social scientists into conversation with prominent Christian theologians and ethicists to wrestle with these difficult questions.
