Theology, May 2009 "The current enthusiasm for the "new genetics" is decisively challenged by this important book on disability and genetics. The exaggerated claims associated with genomics is here challenged by reminding us there is nothing "wrong" with the disabled. John Swinton, and Brian Brock have drawn together an international team of the top scholars from medicine, ethics and theology to produce a unique text which will lay out the complex problems genetic technology raises, and offer fresh understandings and solutions that are theoretically significant and practically vital.

While these questions are not new to genetic counselors, the authors of Theology, Disability and the New Genetics ask them from Christian theological perspectives.

Authors and affiliations. While these questions are not new to genetic counselors, the authors of Theology, Disability and the New Genetics ask them from Christian theological perspectives. Provocative, and perhaps controversial, this attempt at science–religion dialogue may be useful for health providers to learn some theological perspectives, and perhaps for Christian theologians to glimpse the world of genetics. The book is the outcome of a 2005 symposium at University of Aberdeen Centre for Spirituality, Health and Disability.

Recent developments in genetic technology promise to eradicate disease and disability.  Such promises pose challenging questions with regard to our understanding of what it is to be human.  Taking a Christian and theologically informed viewpoint, this book explores and challenges our concept of disability.  This book will seek to explore the question: does our current attitude toward the use of genetic technologies in contemporary practice risks a slide into social habits which are implicitly evil and destructive of the humanness of our society? The central theological question that will be addressed by the book is: Is the image of humanness that underpins the implicit and explicit assumptions of new genetic technology compatible with Christian theological understandings of what it means to be human and to live humanly?   This book aims to explore these questions within a multidisciplinary context with a view to developing an informed practical theological perspective which can guide the theory and practice of the church as it engages with the world around the complex issues that are emerging in response to new genetic technology. John Swinton, and Brian Brock have drawn together an international team of the top scholars from medicine, ethics and theology to produce a unique text which will lay out the complex problems genetic technology raises, and offer fresh understandings and solutions that are theoretically significant and practically vital.
