With vast new scientific and technological powers we face unprecedented choices for which traditional ethics provide little direct guidance. What role can the religious community play in addressing the ethical and theological issues that even science now acknowledges as urgent? Chapman's work forges a method for integrating ethical reasoning with scientific data focusing on four issues -- cloning genetic engineering patenting of life and environmental alteration. For each she reviews the work of religious thinkers assesses the roles of the religious community considers relevant confessional differences determines how traditional theological and ethical concepts can be clarified reformulated and operationalized to meet the questions and finally she formulates helpful methodological options. She calls for a scientifically informed religious ethics built dialogically from concepts in both science and theology.
