This book is situated within the realm of theological engagement withthe sciences with a particular focus on how the nature of ethics isunderstood through this dialogue. Its purpose is to provide atheological appreciation of the nature of ethics which also takesseriously evolutionary accounts of how ethics came to be. It argues thatsuch a theological metaethic can be interpreted as hopeful andoptimistic given the apparent evolution of the moral from the amoral.This work hinges on two different but intertwined levels. One is thelevel of ethical systems: a particular understanding of WesternChristian ethics. This level is framed by another, broader level ofmetaethics: an overarching understanding of the character of ethics thatemerges from reflections on evolutionary theory and its naturalisticcontext.
