Sin
Peters revisits the dark side of human nature and the perennial categories of sin that have been glossed over by our pluralistic culture. Peters examines the kinds of evil that we confront on a daily basis and reminds us of the availability of grace.
Playing God?
Since the original publication of Playing God? in 1996, three developments in genetic technology have moved to the center of the public conversation about the ethics of human bioengineering. Cloning, the completion of the human genome project, and, most recently, the controversy over stem cell research have all sparked lively debates among religious thinkers and the makers of public policy. In this updated edition, Ted Peters illuminates the key issues in these debates and continues to make deft connections between our questions about God and our efforts to manage technological innovations with wisdom.
The Chimp Paradox
"An incredibly powerful mind management model that can help a person become happier, more confident, and a healthier more successful person"--Cover.
God as Trinity
Peters examines the works of Karl Barth, Karl Rahner, Eberhard Jungel, Jurgen Moltmann, Catherine Mowry LaCugna, and other theologians, as he highlights talk about the becoming of God by process theologians, sexism in trinitarian language by feminists, and divine and human community by liberation theologians.
God in Cosmic History
Perhaps inadvertently, historians have often eliminated the religious chapters--those episodes in history during which human insights into transcendence and divinity have shaped human consciousness--from our planet's story. This book tells the story of cosmic history as big historians tell it, beginning with the big bang, and explores the question of God hidden beneath this story. The book pauses on the Axial Age of human history: a moment during the first millennium BCE in which questions of transcendence first simultaneously arose in distinct locations around the world. By exploring this threshold in cosmic history, the author demonstrates the way the arrival of the God question marked a radical new human consciousness, one that ultimately laid the groundwork for the modern age.--
God and Contemporary Science
It is widely believed that contemporary science has ruled out divine action in the world. Arguing that theology can and must respond to this challenge, Philip Clayton surveys the available biblical and philosophical resources. Recent work in cosmology, quantum physics, and the brain sciences offers exciting new openings for a theology of divine action. If Christian theism is to make use of these opportunities, says Clayton, it must place a greater stress on divine immanence. In response to this challenge, Clayton defends the doctrine of panentheism, the view that the world is in some sense "within" God although God also transcends the world. God and Contemporary Science offers the first book...

Anticipating God's New Creation
Ted Peters has influenced a generation of scholars, pastors, professors, and parishioners to realize that God's work in the world can be most fruitfully understood at the intersections between theology, science, and culture. He has developed methods for theological inquiry that are born of and determined by his personal experiences, as well as by the political, historical, and scientific contexts in which he is living. Peters' scholarly acumen and theological curiosity have given rise to his many influential works on genetics, evolution, cosmology, and more works that directly address the influences of a scientific worldview upon people s theological and secular self-understandings. Ted Peters has consistently promulgated a theological vision for how God's action from the future is anticipated now. Moreover, Peters' thinking theologically about how God s future can become present to our world has shaped not only his own work but subsequent generations of scholars, pastors, and professional colleagues.
