Drawing on an international panel of writers representing different disciplinary perspectives, Beyond Determinism seeks to assess the impact of recent developments in genetic science and stem cell research on the Christian understanding of the human person. Outlining the theories on pastoral care for those involved in genetic research, Beyond Determinism also examines the theories of "common good", "determinism", and "reductionism". Notable Contributors include: Ted Peters (CTNS Berkeley), Colin Gunton (King’s College, London), Gareth Jones (New Zealand) and Carver T. Yu (Hong Kong).

Rachael is one of the the most effective advocates of the argument that there are immense practical benefits, and even a demanding moral necessity to investigate and uncover the intricacies of religious faith... "Her ability to penetrate so deeply into other peoples modes of religious expression and belief, whether they stand in light or in darkness, is remarkable and unique. At the same time, her voice of where to direct her gaze, whether at Christian media accounts of Jews in the period of the Second World War or the sexual machinations of cults of the late twentieth century or the struggles of women to make a place for themselves in religious institutions, is both brave and expansive. - Rabbi Prof. Fred Morgan. Rachael Kohns insightful comments, inform, inspire, and provoke: a lovely combination of scholarly research, journalistic clarity and personal passion. -- Prof Amy-Jill Levine, New Testament and Jewish Studies, Vanderbilt University. "Rachael Kohn understands the issues she writes about at the deepest level and as well as providing a way through the thorniest controversies always keeps a sense of the shape of the whole argument... This is a superb volume." Greg Sheridan, foreign editor, The Australian, author of God is Good for You.

Public theologians are already thundering like prophets at climate change and racial injustice. But the gale force winds of natural science blow through society as well. The public theologian should be on storm watch.
