Abstract
Does Christian theology bring a distinctive to the ethics of food biotechnology? In response, Cathriona Russell describes her Christian autonomy approach that emphasizes the moral capacity of the person as "the receiver of God's self-revelation and as a creature destined for...salvation in divine fellowship." In this book, divided into four major chapters, the author advances Christian autonomy as a philosophical reflective approach to transgenics, environmental issues, and nature in general. The table of contents helpfully details the major topics in each chapter, giving the reader guidance in finding subjects of interest. A four-page index in the back, while identifying major themes and writers, could have profitably been expanded with more detail. The fourteen page bibliography covers essential works consulted by the author in preparing her manuscript.
