Ted Peters is professor of systematic theology at the Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary and Graduate Theological Union and director of the Institute for Theology and Ethics, in Berkeley, California. The author of GOD-The World’s Future (2000), Genetic Determinism and Human Freedom (2002) and Science, Theology, and Ethics (2003), Peters writes prolifically on issues of science, theology and religion. His recent work includes Anticipating Omega (2006), Can You Believe in God and Evolution? (with Martinez Hewlett, 2006), and The Stem Cell Debate (2007). He is editor of Dialog, A Journal of Theology and co-editor of Theology and Science. In addition to his interests in religion and science, Peters writes on a broad array of theological issues. One of the most important recurring themes in his work is the willingness to converse with and learn from other religious traditions. Peters has been interviewed by a variety of media, and lectures widely on issues of Christian theology in the modern world, including concerns related to bioethics, stems cells, cloning and the implications of the new genetics.
