This book critically examines those values, and offers a framework for how Christian moral theology should be formed and lived-out within the emerging technoculture. Addressing contemporary ethical and religious issues, this book will be of particular interest to students and scholars exploring the ideas of Heidegger, Nietzsche, Grant, Arendt, and Borgmann.Ashgate Science and Religion SeriesChristian ethicsTheological anthropologyChristianityTechnologyReligious aspectsChristianityChristian ethics.Theological anthropologyChristianity.TechnologyReligious aspectsChristianity.241Waters Brent904037MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910789168803321Christian moral theology in the emerging technoculture3734638UNINA
