🗓️ Release date: March 14, 2026
📚 Volume 2 in the Politics of Human Enhancement series
This collection brings together theologians, philosophers, ethicists, and scientists to ask:
What does it mean to be human in an era of radical technological augmentation?
Can religious traditions ethically engage with human enhancement without abandoning core theological commitments?
How can we reconcile cognitive, emotional, and physical enhancement with Christian anthropology and moral theology?
We explore these themes through an interreligious and philosophical lens, critically engaging with topics like:
– AI and moral agency
– Genetic enhancement and dignity
– Theological anthropology in the age of posthumanism
– Salvation, embodiment, and the limits of progress
📖 This volume is ideal for scholars in theology, ethics, and STS, as well as anyone interested in the ethical and spiritual future of humanity.
