But what exactly are the tensions between evolution and religious faith in the area of human morality? \u003cem\u003eEvolution and Ethics\u003c\/em\u003e examines the burning questions of human morality from the standpoint of Christian thought and contemporary biology, asking where the two perspectives diverge and where they may complement one another.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRepresenting a significant dialogue between world-class scientists, philosophers, and theologians, this volume explores the central features of biological and religious accounts of human morality, introducing the leading theories and locating the key points of contention. Central to these discussions are the questions of whether human actions are ever genuinely selfless, whether there is something in the moral life that transcends biological function, and whether one can sensibly speak of an overall purpose to the course of evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCertain to engage scholars, students, and general readers alike, \u003cem\u003eEvolution and Ethics\u003c\/em\u003e offers a balanced, levelheaded, constructive approach to an often divisive debate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContributors: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Larry Arnhart\u003cbr\u003e Christopher Boehm\u003cbr\u003e Craig A.
