Abstract

The author argues that to think theologically about genetic enhancement is to think prayerfully about how to locate all one’s uses of medicine, recognizing that they must all be lodged in the Christian struggle to holiness. He is critical of the essays in this issue because they often appear to take on a scholastic life of their own outside of the all-consuming struggle to salvation of Christians across the millennia.
