Cover -- Contents -- List of Figures and Table -- Foreword -- Preface -- Introduction: Theology and the Posthuman -- 1 The Cyborg Manifesto -- 2 The Transhumanist Manifesto -- 3 Post-Anthropologies -- 4 Theological Anthropologies -- 5 Constructing a Theological Post-Anthropology -- 6 Christology and the Posthuman -- Bibliography -- Index.
Summary: What is the 'posthuman'? Is becoming posthuman inevitable - something that will happen to us, or something we will do to ourselves? Why do some long for it, while others fearfully reject it? This book aims to clarify current theological and philosophical dialogue on the posthuman by arguing that theologians must pay attention to which form of the posthuman they are engaging, and to demonstrate that a 'posthuman theology' is not only possible, but desirable, when the vision of the posthuman is one that coincides with a theological vision of the human.
